    Front group need to shed the hangers on and the gap will grow I reckon.

    Odd one that, it was several crashes rather than one big one. Motorbike down too. Something on the road?

    Can’t believe the gap hasn’t increased after that but I’ve been dubious of it all along.

    Now extended to 49”.

    Edit - back to 33”, something not right with the timing.

    Agreed, it seemed to be at least 3 separate crashes. Powless down and out by the looks of things

    He made it look ridiculously easy to get back. I assume he’s had that problem for a while and when they finally decided to make the bike change they sent Trentin off the front to help but he never got there.

    Pog goes, Pidcock follows.

    Looks like Healy will make it too

    Only Pidcock can follow but didn’t look like he could handle too many more of those. Healy bridges too, he’s in great form.

    Pidcock carries the speed through the corners so well

    The commentators just made the point that once again a group was allowed to ride off with no real chase from the main group. Fdj were once again not chasing when it went. Losers.
