    One hour of Hatch, then Kirby arrives to ruin the tension.

    So I switched to the Dutch commentary and it’s great. Long stretches of empty air waves. Just the ambient roadside sounds.
    They have both Brad and Bertie on the bikes.

    Sound down and race radio on while I work

    Somewhat soothing to occasionally hear Seb crackle into life to call up a team car

    Break not being given much leeway. I reckon it will come back for a sprint. If the break does stay away the rest of the riders need to work out how to lose Pedersen.

    The climb 30km out will be interesting. If the break aren't caught by then they could get some time back

    Brits and Dutchies both have their ears pricked as they leave the mountains behind

    The least surprising sight of the Tour was Rowe hitting the front as soon as there was a threat of crosswinds

    Fabio Jakobsen off the back on his own! Gilbert and Alpecin on the front, they'll be delighted

    If they catch the break before the climb it'll leave them open to racing though as there's going to be some tired legs out there. They've not had a lot of let up today

    Jakobsen cooked?

    No threat from the wind for the moment but the bunch are still gaining on the break, down to 1:20 now

    Every time there's splits we switch to Bertie who is nowhere near the action - and he's not speaking english. No Panache (aside from the shirt)
