    TBH Kuss riding like this suits Thomas no? He's not one for the accelerations.

    Thomas out of support as Arensman gets dropped.

    Almeida is a diesel style climber. Not saying that being dropped is ideal though.

    It will sound stupid but I'm still not convinced Roglic is feeling good.

    I have a feeling G is starting to rock a little. Say it ain’t so.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Roglic attacks and Thomas responds immediately

    Kuss is a heck of a climber.

    Roglic attacks, Thomas follows and sits on his wheel. Dunbar couldn't close and Kuss then drops him to get back to Rogmas

    Dunbar still battling and Almeida not losing that much so far.

    Arensman seems to have found his second wind.

    You don't really know until either Roglic drops Thomas or vice versa do you

    Dunbar caught by Vine and Almeida who are still only 15" behind the Thomas / Roglic / Kuss group.

    It's not exciting, but impressive how Almeida knows how to manage his effort.

    It felt a little bit like an attack to stop being attacked but they all seem on their limits outside the top 3 and Kuss.

    Vine has to park it on the descent and almeida has to go very slow to avoid the crash.

    Vine leads his group of towards the cliff face but all OK.
