    Bardet’s legs can’t carry the weight of French expectation.

    Pog goes on the downhill

    Turning into an awesome stage considering this is the lesser of the 3 Pyrenean stages

    Not really sure why Pog is doing this on the descent, but fair play to him...

    Didn't see when Pidcock got dropped. He'd be handy in this group now

    If he'd waited until 100m before the top of the climb it might have had an effect - was definitely caught by surprise and a gap on the descent wouldn't have been closed so easily

    Froome follows Bardet back into the GC group just ahead of Tom Piddles.

    Do we think Ving is stronger on the steep stuff and Pog on the power climbs?

    I originally thought Pog was stronger on the steep stuff but who the f*ck knows anymore!
