    GC contenders gifting it now they are all back together. Teach me not to change my PTP picks.

    Only see Thomas from Ineos in that bunch group. Some big losses on GC already.

    That was brilliant. Roglic got some bonus seconds. Not sure if all the other GC guys were there.

    That was a massacre.
    Alaphilippe delivers for the ASO.
    Could hold onto the jersey for a long, long time.

    Did that the hard way which I think is a sign he knew he couldn't take it in the sprint. Looked like he thought he couldn't hold on at the half way point.

    Froome looks damaged

    Looked like Porte came in over 2 mins down. Didn’t see G.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    In hindsight it was the only way he could win ...impressive .. ineos had no response to the Slovenian acceleration it should be noted

  • JA once again to have the weight of France on his shoulders for a couple of weeks.

    Thought Alaphilippe was on the verge of tying up with cramp at the end - the shake of the hand to try and stop that aching right at the end was telling.

    Has Cav been seen uninjured since that last pileup? Amazed to see Froome pootling up, he looked finished after that last group crash.

    Cavendish is the sort of name they'd make sure a camera was on if he'd been caught up in any significant way.

    They need to stay in touch to the big mountains and then try to work them over there.
