    Blimey, has Quintana remembered how to ride a bike on the front of a race?

    He does it once a Tour no? He certainly did at the 2019 Tour.

    I can see this becoming a new tactic in the battle for the Lanterne Rouge.

    About 30 riders left in the peloton and UAE have 7 of them.

    Bahrain winning for fun, Astana all over the break and the shambles that is UAE dropping most of the tour de France pelaton. Come off it.

    Too warm for Quintan so he goes for the string vest

    I usually mention at around this point, that the glaciers off the back of the Chamonix Massif create a wind that flows down the valley creating an 'Air Conditioned' Climb if you're coming up from BSM.

    I suspect that's not a positive today.

    Pog has to put a acceleration in at the end. UAE can't let this happen every day in the hills

    No, just bib shorts and a base layer vest.

    UAE are masquerading as Ineos today. Same colours and all over the front.

    A 20km descent on a day like that is just horrid.

    Has Rapha got some awesome new pink jacket or is Huiguita just nails??

    I question how 'technical' this descent is. It didn't cause me any problems and I'm...not very good

    O'Connor well and truly dropped. I don't think he can trust his hands to grab the brakes.
