    That stretch where they did the damage was the fastest I've ever gone on a bike.

    You'd think Wout would drop back to help on the flat but that makes him pushing on at the front of the break even more baffling.

    He needs to get to the summit before Vingegaard to be any help.

    I assume you were going the other way?

    Kuss burnt off, not sure how sensible this is. If Pog can stay on the wheel Jonas is going to have to work hard in the valley.

    I wonder if the cycling hipsters will tell us the Giro was better than the Tour this year?

    At least Pogacar is making a fist of it today.
    Jumbo, collectively, are stronger than everybody else.

    Going for the jugular, because Jumbo think Pog is off the boil?

    2 minutes slower over the final quarter of the climb.

    Of the Ineos riders to be in the GC group I didn't expect to see Castroviejo. Was he in the break?

    Hmmm - we've been there before. But in theory it could be a huge margin put into everyone today

    WvA dropped, or did he look like he actively held back to join up with the Vin/Pog group?
