    Absolute mugging.

    And to top it off Philipsen goes the full Annemiek van Vleuten in second

    On the overhead Philipsen might be at risk of getting relgated, which would stick the absolute tin lid on that. Marvellous stuff.

    Wtf was Wout's celebration in yellow? The Flying Chicken?

    Jakobsen was not in the top 10.
    Clearly he is finished and QS should have brought Cav, a proper sprinter.

    You could see Ineos do the sums and knock off any thought of chasing. Looked sharp to go with JV though.

    Where has the greatest cyclist of his generation gone? Van der Poel is a no show so far.
