You've already won it.

I thought it was your moniker, toilet Rick.

Still Thomas leading the peloton, the whole Ineos team is at the front:

Remcos nightmare

Vandoorne in the breakaway.

Fraile and Thomas swap positions at the front

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I don't see how bilbao beats ineos today. Maybe Jumbo can do something if they aren't too bad tactically

Strange how absolutely every spectator on that climb tilts to the right.

From the live ticker:

56km
15:22h
4 Sepp Kuss (TJV) losing contact with the peloton

 

[Krzysztof_O]

A stage like today (with almost no flat sections) is perfect to absolutely crush the race: in such stages group strength is less important than normally (a strong cyclist can power up the climbs and defend himself on descends). I wish we had more stages with such profiles (big climbs are not even needed, just steep enough and no flat). Can Primoz do anything spectacular today? Hopefully it will be interesting!

 

[Rackham]

Sepp Kuss losing contact.

 

[Netserk]

Cristian Rodriguez dropped:

 

[Salvarani]

It will be everyone for himself on Krabelin, I reckon. Race will blow apart there.

 

[Netserk]

Live images from Eurosport now. Gap is down to 3'43''.

 

[Red Rick]

Formolo using a dropseat?

 

[Netserk]

Who is behind Fraile? I hope it's not Geoghegan Hart.

Thomas is 2nd wheel, Yates 3rd.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Vandoorne in the breakaway.

Dennis 6th
Evans making a comeback.

 

[ice&fire]

Who is behind Fraile? I hope it's not Geoghegan Hart.

Most likely Thomas

 

[Red Rick]

Imagine taking a piss at 100kph

 

[Netserk]

~40 riders in the peloton. Maybe a bit less.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Is that the whole Ineos team still there in a 40-rider group? Good grief.

 

[SafeBet]

Remco with Alaphilippe and Vansevenant.
Ineos complete.
