    I thought that would happen later into the Giro when Pog had a decent buffer so didn’t pick Alaphillipe for PTP today, dammit!

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    At the time the peloton was slowing, he nearly got someone with him and it wasn't certain the front would go full gas. He got a touch unlucky, but should have sat up ages ago

    Front three looking pretty knackered, turns getting shorter and shorter

    Ooooh, bit of a "discussion" between UAE and Ineos (who are starting to line up for the last section)

    A nasty crash.

    Caruso and Lopez involved

    Front of the peloton splits - are they going to keep it going this time?

    UAE leave Pog on his own. Puncture could be a disaster.

    I know we're only a few days in, and he'll prob fall off, but Thomas looking a very solid podium contender.

    Ineos still on the front. Just keeping G safe again? Hoping for more wind somewhere?

    Astonishing they don't look like they are going to get caught, all three are completely done in.

    Ineos pacing to keep Pog in pink but not close to the stage win & bonus?
