    Honestly, that looked like a really stupid place to try and take a bottle

    I've ridden this road they are on twice, it's horrible. Imagine having to hang onto WVA's wheel on it.

    Last km nothing on the Belgian call as there was nothing to say. Now they’re getting some proper commentary from the moto, offering all the info we can’t get on screen.

    Neilandts still doing ok.

    My brain can't compute that there's another week to go.

    Kirby comes out with his most ridiculous race scenario ever.
    Bahrain to call Poels back to help Landa into the top 10.

    Unbelievable

    Van Aert is about 10% too much Wout to keep up with Poels on this climb

    Normally you'd expect WP to drop WvA, but WvA's performances are so far from normal, I expect WvA to reel him in and then blow him and everyone else away.

    Big split behind and again S Yates is caught out

    Why was CK saying it was 2.7 kms at 17% when it is 10.9% ave, and the 17% is the max gradient?

    WvA back with Soler for the final descent, Poels ~30" down the road.

    Pidcock struggling again on the steeper slopes. You’d think they would suit him more than the power climbs given his build.

    Carlton states WVA has pulled Poels to 27” despite the gap having gone down to less than that before the final climb started.

    WvA needs to virtually stop for a bit and then suddenly turn on the rocket booster.

    Might just catch the end of this after all. Got about 20 minutes before so need to leave. Won’t see the GC battle though.
