    WVA allegedly proving he really is the complete rider by becoming the new Steve Cummings. Busily loafing at the back, basically.

    S Yates is almost 14 minutes down

    Pierre Latour is potato hunting.

    Don't think this break can last, someone will chase it

    Jumbo's commitment to making the race insanely hard is incredible

    The entire peloton is dropped.
    What? 8 riders left?

    WVA struggling today.

    Is it me, or does Vingegaard look a little bit off it as well? Possibly wishful thinking, but...

    Unbelievably strong by Jumbo. Closed the break so quickly, and dropped the peloton.
    Even dropped Wout.

    Having your anchor rider ease up to create a split in the peloton seems a fairly obvious tactic.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Steve Cummings told the Ineos riders to stay alert as this might happen.

    Well done boys! :D

    Majka tries to get away again, with another UAE (Bjerg?) Soler but marked by Benoot and Kelderman

    Pinot is as dumb as a bag of spanners.
    Couldn’t wait to be towed across.

    Jumbo have this race in a stranglehold. I can't believe it's to protect Kuss's 6th place.
    It must mean JV is looking to launch again.

    Jumbo keeping the break very close, think Jonas might be looking for a statement stage win here
