    Sorry for not paying attention properly, but why is Thomas so far back in the GC?

    Maybe roglic id banking on coming good in the third and is deliberately under cooked

    I think he's finding out. He had a bash right from the off to try and get in the break so might just be paying for it (which he's not really used to)

    Roglic hasn't looked all that great all season, despite winning the Dauphiné

    Came back together quickly, but that was a wake up call - especially for Carapaz who was behind

    UAE drilling the descent as there are splits in the peloton.

    Polit can put time in the gap on his own on this downhill ...makes sense . The split is a bonus

    I keep forgetting Jumbo are in that crappy kit and when there was that little split earlier I thought they'd missed it. Really annoying.

    Kirby already back for another finish. Time for me to bail out of Eurosport.

    It's headwind all the way up the valley

    Over the last couple of years I've developed a quite intense dislike for Gaudu.

    That stupid fluff moustache. Get rid.
