    First chute of the day and Harm Vanhoucke seems hurt. Jan Tratnik also down.

    MvDP had to dig really deep to take that ahead of the star of the 2022 classics.

    Looked like deja vu for Ewan there but seems relatively uninjured compared to last year's Tour. Interesting finish there, real mixture of rider types.

    Shame Girmay didn’t take it, but fair play to MvdP, looked like he was nowhere at one point.

    So...

    Gutted for Girmay (although does go into white)
    MvdP looking on form
    Caleb exceptional
    Carapaz best of the GC

    Girmay comes across well in interview. Guessing English is maybe his 4th language.
