    Peloton breaking into 3 or 4 groups. They’re having to work hard due to being too lax earlier. They had a warning after the KOM where it split up a bit but Lidl didn’t try to make it pay.

    If you turned on now you’d think there’d been crosswinds.

    I think visma will do what Robbie says and stall the front group

    Coming back together now, would have been nice if it could have kept these gaps with 10k to go. There’s going to be some tired teams out there now though.

    Lead group now splitting as some decide to try to keep it going.

    They're going through Bra. They have a good hockey club. I've played against them.


    (That's the excitement level this stage is bringing)

    Anyone else think Pog was expecting the Ineos rider to be G? Seemed non-plussed when it wasn't.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Simon Carr abandons, assume he’s ill as no crashes today that I’m aware of.

    At least Geraint is no longer on ST with Martinez.

    That was the easiest 1 second gain possible.

    Meanwhile, Simon Carr quits the race…

    Apparently Geraint Thomas has changed his name to Enzo Palini.🤣

    Pog attacking over the top of the little climb and G follows. EF rider started it and the 3 have a gap

    Honore who started it gets dropped by Pog and Thomas is hanging on the wheel. Will probably get caught but a bit of fun anyway.

    Pog caught with 200m to go. Merlier takes it. Really good stage in the end.

    You've got to love Pog (and Gee).

    Merlier pips Milan in the end.
