    A bit of a split. Nothing serious

    I'm having an asthama attack just looking at that dust cloud.

    Ineos are in danger of taking pog to the stage win

    Ganna getting dropped is a surprise, saving it for tomorrow?

    Thomas looked to be dragging a few away just before that minor crash behind.

    Martinez o Conner held up

    Rubio did more damage there than Arensman is causing

    Riders everywhere..... More off the back racing than pure speed

    Arensmen is the man dictating pace

    The speed all the groups are going is still insane. If the three out front manage to survive it will be a great effort.

    reduced peloton ...no one wants to control ...break at 1:30

    Honoré attacks from the peloton, there's just over 1'30" to jump across

    UAE now controlling - was all the INEOS work just keeping safe at the front?

    Honoré has a broken rib btw. It's one of the top ones, so "not dangerous" apparently

    Peloton slowing down... Break looks more likely

    THe chasing group (dropped riders from the break) are falling back, the front three (Alan Philip, Plapp and Sanchez) going out, 2'20" to the peloton now

    Honoré still has a minute and a half to close

    Sign of weakness by UAE if you ask me

    Movistar guy surely needs to stop even pretending to work fairly soon. Going to get mugged by Alaphilippe anyway, might as well be ready for it.

    They're holding at 2'30", enough to make sure nobody else tries to jump. I think a lot of time will come back on the last gravel section then the killer little climb near the end

    Every tv ad break, Hatch is promoting a Discovery + subscription.

    Of course he isn’t mentioning the cost, or the fact that it’s over double what it cost, last year.
