    Break finally formed? I'm following via the PCS tracker, so no real idea what is happening.

    They won't ride with carapaz

    Of course not. Nor is going to go solo with 136km to go. He's crushed some dreams though.
    Yeah .that's cycling I guess
    No need to annoy people for no reason though.
    In training for the move back to Movistar.

    Is anyone else getting a stripey picture on the helicopter shots? I've had the same thing for the previous two stages as well, shots from the motorbikes are fine though.

    Poels looking like he’s going get dropped, then looking fine, then dodgy again. I wish he’d make his mind up.

    Wtf is it with Eurosport but they do the same thing every time.
    Wait for things to start happening on the road then shove pictures into a small box and bring on distractions.

    Measured. The GC teams bluffing behind has neutralised a lot of the racing . Trek have played there hand well and bike exchange have hidden . Ineos showing fear

    Displaying the Whoop strain scores is totally meaningless.

    HR is only marginally less meaningless, it doesn't really mean anything unless you know what their max is - 160 could be really high or only moderate depending on the rider. So you've no way of telling whether 160 means they are working really hard or riding sweetspot.

    Not sure why Ineos are chasing so hard, unless it's to stop Dumoulin from getting back too much lost time.
