    2-0 Pog as he takes the time bonus from Jonas and the pair press on. Suspect they’ll sit up.

    What is it about Jumbo leaders being wheelsuckers who won't work?

    Pogacar should stop working for Jonas really.

    Guess Jonas will just sit on Pogacar his wheel all week and conserve his energy for the final week.

    Jonas will never do any pulling.

    Pretty simple tactics in not getting mugged for bonus seconds by the best gc sprinter here

    Whilst that is true, Jonas had the chance to fight for the stage win.
    Wout won't hold back for Jonas if roles reversed.
    But it's not just been today.

    Forgot he was in the polka dots, didn't I

    But he's been good value for his pick

    Risk / reward not really falling right though. Higher chance of Wout winning the sprint from a group that size that Jonas staying away with Pog and beating him in a sprint with the extra matches burnt.

    Just realised I'm 20 odd minutes behind.

    It's probably all over by now

    Why do they keep going back to the Alaphillipe group?

    Pidcock not fancying his sprint chances and tries to go early but shut down straight away.

    Wout having to do all the chasing here.

    Lafay holds on and Cofidis finally get a stage win. Well deserved that, just held on. Graphics must have been off as they were suggesting nearly 100m to go when the line came. Very well taken.

    Actually this could cause a rift in the Jumbo camp….
