    Big group to follow and no-one pushing it massively, so he should be fine.

    Seems OK, but I don't think they're pushing it, the gap to the leaders is going out a little again

    Demarre is definitely having a very bad day, he's 10 minutes behind l'autobus, who are just coming to the top of the Cime

    The tour race centre never suggested he was close to getting back on. He's really struggled in the hills on previous stages too.

    Cavendish, Bol and Ballerini tailed off the bus too, right now - about two minutes off the back, so doable if the autobus don't push the descent.

    Remco has enough buffer to risk a attack I think.... Situation isn't helping though

    Why does he keep saying Isola duh meal when it clearly says Isola 2000?

    Jorgensen goes for the stage?

    Jonas has isolated himself ...I think the two upfront are not fresh enough

    For the Visma boys to be of any use to Vingegaard then they are going to have to save their legs a bit. That gives Carapaz a chance to jump and get even more points, and a stage win. 4 minutes could well be enough.

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

    Hopefully Vin and/or Rem try something up this climb to the banner.

    Jorgensen answers the question over Vingegaard.

    Yup! Looks more like a stage win attempt than satellite riders.

    Feels like an admission that Jonas isn't up to attacking Pog.

    Interesting. It really didn't look like stage hunting from how they rode in the break, they did 90% of the work

    Jorgensen isn't exactly ripping away from the Carapaz trio, and UAE are more or less being held at bay. Feels measured once he pulled out the initial gap.

    Pog launched, Rem and Vin try to chase. But stall.

    Pog toyed with them a bit there, nearly let them on then attacked harder.

    Vingegaard now looks to be riding to protect 2nd place.

    A bit disappointing tbh.

    Will be amusing if he catches and beats Jorgenson after all the work Visma put into this stage.
