    Missed most of this stage, some klaxons earlier? I see there's a Uran group off the back. No one else of note miss a split?

    It's nice of Bike Exchange to do all this work for Van Aert.

    I was thinking a few minutes ago, haven't heard a single person name him as a potential winner

    I can't see Bike Exchange doing this on their own.

    You've got to feel a bit sorry for anyone told to chase down a break featuring both Ganna and Küng

    Pedersen is going to have to do a lot of closing down when the attacks start. The biggest issue for Kung or Ganna is going to be opening up an initial gap as Pedersen is likely to have a quicker jump.

    They need to knock it off now. If anyone else wants, let them come and get it.

    Bike Exchange doing a lot of work to keep the break from playing silly buggers. That's good for Mads P

    Thebreak have enough time now?
    Presumably Ganna or Kung are going to have to jump early?

    Yep it's looking a lot less likely now, 3 riders against 6

    17 to go with 2m 20.

    Break will need to fall apart to be caught IMO

    If form is a guide, Kung will be really strong, try to attack a few times in the run in, and then lose in a sprint to everyone.

    ...which given that there are a few peeps here with a handful of stage podiums but no victories, is a possibility...

    Bit of a strange one when he has the beating of the others in a sprint.

    Fred Wright is having a great race.

    Cunning of Mads to attack whilst Ganna was reaching for a snack...

    The big 2 have run dry.
    Pedersen now odds on.

    Smart move, though I wasn't expecting it. Now he only has 2 to cover moves from

    Not sure, when it flattens off it is going to be hard to hold a gap against Ganna and Kung working together.

    I would love a Fred Wright win, he's been very strong in the breaks he's been in this Tour. Can't see him beating Mads though
