    Bettiol hoping for a UAE contract next season?

    Is Uran in that group? Putting time into roglic would make sense if so.

    ITV reckon Roglic has crashed.

    WVA vs Pogacar.
    Going like a yellow train.

    WvA for the save?

    Both of Van Baarle's teams are behind, so I am not sure what his job description is.
    He could either disrupt the charge or drop back.

    Thought it was but Carlton didn't spot him (quelle surprise but thought Robbie would have) then saw someone in the Pog group wearing what looked like Thomas's glasses. Who is the Ineos rider in the Pog group then?

    Really tricky one for Jumbo having to drive the one group when their other leader is just behind. Ineos riders getting a free ride behind WVA.

    MvdP puncture now.

    Pog is just pushing it on solo.

    lol

    I nearly posted this morning about cobbles having no place in a GT but also feeling slightly bad that I was half, kinda, little bit hoping that something befell Pog on the cobbles and gave us a race.

    Oh well, karma's a bitch I guess...

    Stuyven attacks and Pogacar follows.

    He's doing his best to win this Tour before we sniff a mountain.

    It's a bit crazy Pog hasn't got a teammate with him, if anything happens he's on his jack.

    There's a bloody long way to go still in terms of the tour.

    Easy deal to be done between Pog and Stuyven here.
