    That's it for the next 100km I assume. Rolland gets to wear his hideous polka dot shorts again tomorrow.

    He's not beating Cort on a short steep sprint imo
    I didn't expect him to be that bad.

    Lol at B&B - from 50% of the break to 100% of the chasing group 😅

    It is only fitting that the French supply the chasse patate. ;)

    MvdP going full green for coming second on a TT is a bit much

    WvA?

    Think they should hit the bridge around 16:25 local time (CEST).

    No one wants to commit to breaking the bunch ... everyone is defending

    Rolland used that tactic in the Dauphine to good effect. But this is the Tour...given .not.an.inch

    I've had quite a long siesta.
    Woke up just in time to catch the start of the minor crashes.
    The commentary team have been working hard trying to crank up the excitement level.

    Most of Denmark must be by the side of the road ... 2 deep most of the way

    Right so David Gaudu caught on camera grabbing hold of Ruben Guerreiro by the helmet and pushing him.

    That's an automatic DQF..........................but of course he's French.

    Mmmmm

    Well, Gaudu is still giving it out, so it's pretty obvious that it's unfriendly.
    He's lost his cool completely.

    Uran screwed.
    A big split caused not by any crosswind, but a crash.
