    Pace seems a little high considering a Yellow Jersey chute

    Jumbo Visma sure have the touch of Pinot about them...

    In 10 mins of straight flat riding the whole tour has changed...
    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

    Change of pace in the bunch and lack of concentration I guess

    Not sure Vingegaard used his team well there. Got two sent back and then closed the gap himself, dropped his teammates and sitting alone now

    Vingegaard does seem to maybe panic a bit and close gaps faster and with more expenditure of energy than perhaps he needs to. Like at the start yesterday he shot past everyone else to get back to Pog when he probably didn't need to

    Morkov update: 39.48 behind with 60km left for him to ride. He's going to need an awful lot of sticky bottles

    Yeah, I think he's slightly panicky and maybe also sucked in to this one on one battle thing. Not sure who the Jumbo Visma DSs are or whether they're a calming influence, feels like Sky wouldn't have reacted like that in the old days

    Some more Van Aert weirdness a while back. Covered an attack from Mads P and dragged Pogacar with him 🙄
