    You think you're fit and decent on the bike and then you see them riding threshold up a 5% at well over 25kph.

    Trio have lost about half their gap in 15km, down to 33" to the chasers, (87km to go, 12.3km to the top of the climb)

    Good that Jakobsen got back in earlier, had assumed he was way off the back. Hope Cav can link up and they can all crawl home within the time cut.

    Trek not pulling like Remy

    Might have to switch to ambient sound as Kirby combined with JV telling us how brilliant and cool his riders are is a challenge.

    Riders all over the mountain, UAE confirming they're not really worried about Jai Hindlay, Wout burning some matches, Kirby spouting nonsense.
