    Aru 1.5K off the back with a 10kph speed deficit. About to get swept up by the broom wagon.

    Marie Blanque is hard, but short and summits at 18 km to the finish... nobody will move, waste of a Pyrenean stage

    Most of thought similar yesterday and it ended up being a good stage, far better than most summit finishes in recent years.
  • Aru 3.25 off the back

  • Not far to the big climb now.
    Break will go there and the bunch will slow right down.

  • Never stops being annoying that stage profile graphics indicate KM travelled rather than KM to go.

    In my mind Aru is picturing his doctor and singing Taylor Swift’s bad blood.

    Presumably hoping the head start means they’ll be useful the other side of the marie-Blanque
