    Turgis down klaxon!
    But has he judged it right? Just enough of a scrape to allow him off the back the next few stages?

    Ag2r rider making sure no one wants to follow him on the cobbles, almost decked it on a speedbump. This is nervous as speed drops to 37kmph in a block headwind

    Don't know how they feel, I'm nervous enough.

    Lack of ambition by the GC teams. Pog is more active FFS

    WvA might be put into a sweeping role I guess ... Picks up roglic and Jonas if they get dropped

    Super dusty cobbled sectors. All sorts being kicked up by the camera bike, Thomas looking good near the front though as two jumbos lead

    Ben O'Conner is reminding me of Armstrong in 2010 here - has now ditched his team mates and is riding for himself 1 min behind the bunch

    I think it's splitting in the bunch
