    Unfortunately it’s looking like a single change in the commentary box today.
    So it will be Kirby all the way in about 10 minutes.
    Unless they have built a few roundabouts on the Colombier, he’s going to read out the startlist more than once.


    Fans with flags and flares are gonna give him a heart attack
    Haha!
    Excellent call.
    He’s going apoplectic over flags and flares.

    ZZZZzzz. This is not the high octane stage I have come to expect from these lads.

    UAE are obviously fed up with Jumbo gtting all the publicity for their 'WTF are they doing?' tactics and giving some of their own.

    This is pretty clear, isn't it? Pog wants the stage and the bonus seconds.
    It made sense whe they were holding it at 1:30 but I can't work out why they then let it go out to nearly 4 minutes.

    Kwiato riding very strongly now, Ineos could do with a stage win. It's going to take a big effort from behind to pull this back.

    Some dubious looking gaps, not sure Kwiato is now out to 53". Maybe Mohoric blew .

    Kwia approx 2'50" up the road from GC group, approx 60" ahead of chasers.

    6.7Km to go from a shock win.

    Clearly not going flat out yet, still a few stragglers in the GC group. Once they go I sadly think Kwiato will be toast.

    There's too many still there - it's not been destructive by UAE yet.
