    Does Dani Rowe think the climb is dead straight into a headwind?

    Vollering leaves a gap and won't close it, AvV has to ride

    Meanwhile Niewiadoma sails away...

    It’s a proper slow bike race between the big two. I’d love it if Niewiadoma wins the race here while they mess around.

    I think it was after Stage 4, Matt Stevens interviewed Kasia...but she had stuffed an entire bag of Haribo into her mouth....

    Cecilie gets dropped as they hit the foot of the climb. She's breaking my heart, she's shaking my confidence daily.

    I’m struggling with the logic of getting a lead of over a minute then sitting up for ages letting them recatch you and bring others back into contention.

    Matt Stephens going through the climb details that directly contradicted one of the commentators earlier who said it starts steeper then gets easier. I did wonder what she was talking about.

    Gap down to 30"

    Looks like SD Worx might have played this right, AvV less so

    AvV should jump onto Kasia

    Still not convinced. Reusser will pull them back to Niewiadoma but surely can’t do much more, Kopecky has done well to still be here but I don’t see her adding much and now there are an extra few rivals for the stage and GC that they’d previously dropped.

    I don't think she has it

    Very good, except it wasn't Cecilie getting dropped. She's still in the AvV/Vollering group

    Not another stage with no reception
