    Tour has finally kicked off for real!
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Small peloton 2km from the top. I must have missed the jumbo attack as they're all together again.

    Too bad for you.
    Mr Giggles only just swapped out. He’d talked top quality gibberish for over an hour, so needed his break.

    Not really sure about Yates there, looked like he closed it down for Pogacar. I can understand wanting to join the move

    Roglic gonna put pressure on the descent.

    Don't think that's gonna worry Pog too much.

    Sensible decision for MvdP, though a shame.

    +1

    The descent is only 3 or 4 kms at most. Then they wiggle around town and the Galibier starts with a long straight.
