    I have just tuned in.

    Am I right Pog is back with the same peloton?

    This road looks barely wide enough as a bike path

    Jumbo take it up. Wout goes on the front and suddenly the peloton is in bits. Looks like he’s dropped Roglic?!

    Roglic did a turn himself first

    Also if Matthews cannot finish this off he doesn’t deserve to win.

    WvA splits the peloton in 2.

    Pidcock falling back

    They used Roglic up first I think, for what he had left. Used a lot of energy at the start chasing on

    Pidcock out the back

    Jumbo have cut out a lot of deadwood.

    For all the boring sky chat I can’t remember a team collectively so far ahead of the rest of the peloton as Jumbo

    Someone said pre tour why take Thomas. Easily best of the rest behind Pog and Ving

    Bettiol dropping the rest in pursuit of the solo Matthew’s who’s up putting it all onthe line.

    Bettiol catches Matthew’s and tries to shake him off.
