    Don't get Zweihoff dropping back, just sit on the break and wait to save energy and help later as the gap is already nearly closed

    Lopez needs to learn same musette skills. Could have taken out numerous riders there

    Lopez progresses from throwing individual bottles to the entire contents of a feed bag

    Poor Guillaume Martin is left to chase on his own as Carthy blows up.

    EDIT: Landa back. for now at least
