    JV want to ride a fatiguing pace but with a breakaway that gobbles up the time bonus ...hence WVA

    Gaudu out the back of the main group.

    Probably time for Powless to accept he isn’t as good a climber as the other KOM contenders and have a few easy days instead of getting in every break. He may be quite happy with that.

    Ciccone didn't look like he has anything to respond

    With Trek serious about targeting the polkadots (see how Skjelmose pulled back Costa) it's pretty much over for him, I think. Vingegaard & Pog likely to take more big points after the rest day as well

    WvA decides to chase Soler and maybe give Ciccone a chance of the mountain points he wants.

    Surely Wout isn’t expecting to win a MTF with some of the climbing talent behind?

    Uran and Hamilton try to cut the corner off a hairpin. Lucky it was quite a tame drop off in that location.

    Nice crowd on that climb. Standing at the side of the road and actually leaving the carriageway clear.

    Another crash, Nielands into a wall on a corner. Looks in pain but could have been worse.
