    Tough day for those who don't do so well after rest-days. (like Bardet)

    While we have all this messing about at the start, are team cars organised on how to supply continuous stream of fluid to their riders racing in ~37C later, akin to continuous printer ink solutions? :D

    I am watching on catch up and Quelle surprise, Kirby has totally confused me.
    Jai Hindley, Pidcock and Rodriguez off the front?
    Next shot is of Bora chasing…

    Looks like the baton of French Hopefulness has been thrown backwards at speed to Gaudu today

    Belgians are not online yet and neither are the Dutch so I'm up on Eurosport.

    How the f*ck are you reading the race with Carlton on the call? He's calling chasing groups like they're leaders.

    Christ - are all of the riders high today?
    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.

    Don't think he's trying to get away, maybe trying to keep things closed for WVA later. Possibly also trying to make it hard, in case Pog isn't liking the extreme heat

    It probably will come back together by the back end of the race.

    Not crack, but turn the dial up on attrition I think. JV think Jonas will peak strongly in the third week, they want to wear Pog down as much as possible before they get there

    It's a stunning part of the world undiscovered by Brits!

    I beg to differ. They went to Vulcanis in an episode of Coach Trip!

    He was, several times. He's blown up a bit in the heat I think
