    Any time now Bennett is going to put Poels in a ditch and Wout will take a swing at George. :lol:

    If he's not there cos he's marking Alaphilippe, then he looks a bit far down that group to me.

    Alaphilippe starting to give it the TV Tommy gurning. Just for show for the moment I think.

    is it just me or do the crowds at the summits seem a bit thin and low-key? is it because the moto riders clear them out of the road now?
    I miss the madness a bit, the baying hordes, the flares etc.

    Is Alaphillipe sliding back slightly? Or getting ready for mad descent?

    Wait until you see the corner at the Lauteret, I am sure most of the fans are on the final climb.

    Three weeks ago, if you'd said Yates, Bardet and Quintana would cross Izoard first, I'd have compiled a narrative of a nasty crash for G in week 1, Pinot underperforming as usual and the absence of Froome opening the Tour up.

    Valverde has to keep riding they want to catch the other team markers as early as possible
