    Bit of a bloodless sprint that - no chance Pedersen was being caught

    Don't understand the other two working so much with Pedersen once the other three were out of the picture.

    I've always said Mads loves it when it's cold and wet

    We now get the silly sprint for UCI league points.

    Politt has massive gnashers.

    All the UCI points are gone already. Only down to 5th place.

    No idea what Politt was doing.

    Blythe just had an adaption on your theory, that he has to have either a very hard race or have very hard racing the previous day.

    Oh yeah, the harder the better, it's not really about the weather at all. He's got insane stamina. If you chucked another 50km on every stage he'd probably go for a tilt at GC

    I see Pidcock went back to being rubbish today. Didn't get in the break, didn't sprint v van Aert, just rolled in with the bunch. Should probably have gone home after stage 8 really.

    Should probably start a thread of whether he should swallow his pride and retire #finished

    Boulting seems to be a good friend of Fred Wright s father so I would have loved to see a commentary where he was as biased as could be expected
