    Kuss in the second group apparently. Can’t seeing a big problem but causes a bit of stress.

    Back together and a new group is ahead by 10"

    Trek chasing, they have Stuyven in it instead of Ciccone/Skjelmose
    Powless is up there, MVDP, Küng

    No respite at all. A break has formed but can’t get more than 10”. Pace is up to 64km/h in the valley

    AG2R trying to disrupt the chase but Lidl not having any of it and Kirsch literally pushes a rider out of the way. Break at 16” now.

    Break caught and back to the attacking. Lidl Trek chase down their man Stuyven who then tries to instigate the next move.

    Stiff looking crosswind.

    Pollitt seems to have been elected as peloton mug today getting left solo off the front as they finally decide to sit up.

    The Breakaway lot are in no doubt that chucking the motorbike malfeasants was the correct decision, as they interfered not just once, but twice with the race.

    Anyway, we are off.


    The photgrapher still got his photo on the front cover of L'Equipe. So he will have thought it was worth it and will risk doing the same again.

    Kwiato is rolling back the years on this Tour. Struggling to close the ham though but all coming back I think.

    Petit on his own over 1’ 30” down already. Hope it gets through after yesterday’s effort and then a rest day tomorrow to try to recover.

    They are not going to let Bilboa go

    Pidcock is active today. Arguably better climbs for him today.

    Don’t get why JV are worried about the break. They can leave anyone outside the top 5 or so go surely?

    Busy start to the day, but pay attention to other tasks. Don't let the potatoes boil dry.

    He thinks Alaphillipe and Lutsenko are arguing when it seemed pretty obvious it was a brief conversation along the lines of ‘are we pushing on?”

    Investing, battle plans, etc. all the usual meaningless bull poo.
