    Time to bail out of Eurosport. Kirby is back to ruin another finish.
    Nice to have the option of calm commentary from S4c.

    WvA is ridiculous. He's 15kg heavier than JA.

    They say he is quite good

    Really not sure what the point was of Wout's ride today. Huge amount of energy spent for what? Maybe forced UAE to do the work .

    Go for the win, if that doesn't work you can help Vingers out in the finale.

    Gave Jumbo an excuse not to, regardless. Maybe he genuinely thought he could get over this climb?

    Pog only with Yates, and Vingers gains WvA along with Kuss.
