    Boring race when everyone knows who's going to win after the first week.

    I think Pogacar has just learnt he's not invincible - all those late sprints and working harder than he had to earlier in the race - reminiscent of Yates in the Giro

    Still 3.6km to go, odds on Pog recovering and pulling them back?

    This last bit isn't quite so steep. They're through the worst of it. It's still killer though. Like cry dry dehydrated tears killer.
    That is the exact term I would use to describe Vinegar's face there. Like he's crying but no tears to come.. Quintana meanwhile not so bothered

    There's a lovely view from here. Pog should stop and get a selfie. There's no shame in it.

    Vingegaard has a good pain face.

    Yates looks v comfortable on Pog's wheel.

    Yates and Gaudu rubbing salt in. Geraint not really gaining much.

    I actually thought he was alright today, maybe it's the shorter bursts they're using him here.
