    Mollema and Dumoulin are good mates.

    Lol the "oh FFS" shrug of Dumoulin when Bouwman launches his sprint for the KOM.

    Bowman had blunted his sprint ...

    Good fun this break.

    Feels like going to an Italian beach in Tuscany in August.

    3/4s Dutch and the lone Italian pulling faces.

    Bouwman finishes off a great day's work by Jumbo Visma. I never doubted it.

    Where's the much talked about wall? My dropped Kerb is steeper than that.

    Cancel the result and make them do it all again

    I did look at it on street view and thought I'd got the wrong place because it didn't look that steep.

    An obvious tactic, solidly executed.

    Fair play JV.

    Bouwman needs to thank Tom D big time there

    Lots of Hatch hyperbole early on about what a great stage it was.

    Really enjoyed that. I'd have preferred Tom to have won, but the sheer joy on Bouwman's face tempered my disappointment. And I know Tom will have been thrilled for him.

    Textbook display of a breakaway succeeding and how having 2 riders from 1 team can be an advantage. Great work by Doumoulin. Selfless ride and really made his name again.

    The first bit, before the break proper went, was really interesting to be fair.
