    They're doing 60ish at the moment, Lotto DSTNY tried to kick it off, right now just a lot of fight for position

    I looked at the teams this morning to see which teams, if any, would be keen to try and split the bunch.

    First thing I noticed was that Pogacar only has Politt. On paper they look weak for wind action.

    Around 20-30km to the point I felt they would look to split things.

    I think multiple Eneco Tour winner Tim Wellens would disagree that Pog only has Pollitt

    Blythe has picked out the same point. Merceuil will string them out.

    Very strung out and Pog a bit far back. Pidcock was right at the back. Pog moving up now.

    I reckon now - long enough, open enough

    It’s really, really strung out now, as Cav gets a mechanical.

    A couple of proper splits now and that's without any real attempt

    Action - even Pog is going through.

    Pretty substantial already. Cav at 1' 15", I suspect his day is done.

    Depends who is in which group. I have no idea.

    Don't think any GC got caught in the 2nd group

    But the 50ish front group could well split again later

    It doesn't look like any GC riders are missing.

    Pog is pretty isolated, just Politt I think.

    Pog sitting in a weird position if someone hits it again. He's isolated badly

    All of UAE team is in the second peloton. Pogacar isolated.

    Several sprinters left behind too.
