    Bardet abandons, unsurprising given how he looked

    Got the makings of a stage for the ages this one (I.e. one of the best 3 or 4 stages of the race).

    Break not getting much time because Jumbo-Visma are riding it hard

    Shaw also out

    Shaw confirmed out now too. Be easier to say who is still in after today’s stage.

    Petit and Sinkeldam are off the back by 3’ 30” so it’s going to be long day for them.

    Jumbo claiming they want the break to go so they’re sitting on the front not letting it get more than a few seconds. Odd.

    They've also been saying since the start they want to make it a hard race, letting the break go is secondary

    Not looking like they're planning on letting up, though they're not pushing on descents, so there's a possibility for the break there still

    Still about 15 minutes down on the slowest schedule.
    That was quite a delay.

    Just passing Armstrong’s roundabout. He crashed there in 2010.
    I bet Kirby missed this factlet.

    This climb is a cat 1, just like the last two. It's just twice as long at roughly the same gradient.

    JV starting to turn it up, riders getting dropped now - Pinot, Skjelmose, O'Connor

    Incredible how many riders Jumbo had left coming into this climb considering how small the jersey group is already.
