    In the space of one climb I went from ‘they need to start pulling this break back’ to ‘they’re going to catch them too soon’. Seems like they’ve realised and eased off a bit as it has gone back out a touch.

    Visma bluff?

    Gaps have been a bit dodgy, feels like it’s sorted now though. Cavendish group seem to have stabilised and should comfortably make cut off now. Hopefully a sign that he has recovered a bit, I think the temperatures were supposed to be lower towards the finish.

    The colour may have changed but it’s the same old Visma story.

    It appears that they have got their er mojo back after it had been missing most of the season.

    I made the mistake of putting the sound on only to hear about the Jensen Healey

    Would like Bardet to hold on here. Never worn yellow as far as I’m aware?

    Bardet needs VdB For the flat run in?

    Visma are either out of bullets or going defense

    So, if the peloton do make the catch, who's the fastest man left there? Mads P? Did any other sprinter/fast classics types make it over?

    Just logged on. The TdF tracker says Groenewegen is still in the peloton. That can't be right, can it??!

    Trek have joined EF and Visma at the front and the gap is coming down quite quickly.
