    Feels like Yates lost a little time amongst all that chaos as well

    I keep reading the distance to the top as the distance to the finish. Gall is a rubbish descender isn't he?

    Spectators nearly push Jonas into the back of his teammate.

    Jonas not actually closing on the leaders as quickly as you'd expect.

    SYates not making much ground back, don't think Gall is that much worse as a descender to make the difference.

    (things you learn from the ticker - Phillipson is still in Meribel, Pidcock is with him. Good lad!)

    You can see the top of Saulire from way down the valley towards Albertville.

    Shirley it's too late for Vin to win, ~1min22secs down at summit.

    But pulling away further from Pog, ~4min30secs ahead now.

    Pog still has 4 minutes over A Yates on virtual GC and Yates now has a minute over Rodriguez.
