    Kopecky gets a perfect leadout and gets mugged on the line by Lippert. Surprisingly big bunch left to contest that sprint.

    Was thinking that, gave it too much on the ABBA tribute karaoke.

    The group really split after the last roundabout, nasty draggy finish.

    "Do you realise you just won a Tour de France stage?"

    I would have been tempted to say something along the lines of "ah, I wondered what race this was"

    And that was considered to be the other GC stage besides the Tourmalet.

    Anyone else getting an echo on commentary? I've got it on my laptop through Discovery+ and it has an echo, it did this once before but if I muted it on the app it sorted the problem. This time I've had to mute my computer speakers completely and have no sound.

    Edit - restarted it now and it's fine. Odd!
