    Why did Wout ditch the bidon from his musette to then immediately take another bottle from the soigneur?

    Robbie perfectly summing up my feelings regarding downhill sections on climbs, most recently expressed half way up Snowdon 20 miles into a marathon last Sunday. I absolutely hate going downhill knowing that you just have to regain that height to get back where you were. The end of Llangynidr Mountain is a censored for it!

    Never go north of Machynlleth.
    It’s the rule.

    Stick or twist for Pidcock here - try and take some time, or try and take the other four with him?

    Madness that people like Uran are dropped while the green jersey just keeps on trucking.

    This isn't a good descent for the break. Does it get steeper and twistier?

    As a stage, it's just become one of those places idiot fans congregate because it is something they've heard of and it is over-rated as a climb.

    CK was basically fine until the GCN boys got switched out for Sean. They kept him in line but he's in full flow at the moment

    "What's going to happen, Sean?"
    "That is a difficult question."

    I've an idea guys, let's give it an hour and find out.

    Better section of descent, Pidcock immediately opens a gap.
