Is this stage in Simon Yates pocket already? There’s nobody in that break who can climb with him and it doesn’t look like Sky are all that bothered about catching it.

Gilbert is upfront so that is why Sky is working on the Peloton

Groenewegen DNS.

Same with Ewan and EBH. Bennett is DNF. Seems like the sprinters aren’t all that keen on doing Turini in March.
I still think it’s a bit lame that sprinters quit the second to last stage because there is no sprinting left for them :(

39 man break? What!? Only Sky & Sunweb don't have someone in the break.

Makes sense; Sky has the leading rider, and Sunweb barely has any riders left.

Honestly, my first reaction was basically "But... I just saw… Rob Power... Oh... wait, that's Tirreno…"

The GPS has gone mad..
3:43 now. A minute ago it was 5:50

Back over 5 mins. It doesn’t matter though. Nobody is taking back 5 mins or 3 mins on Simon Yates on one climb.

Yates would have to be incredibly annoying to race against. He attacks, stops, sits on the front, sits at the back, and then eventually puts in a full blooded attack and drops everyone.
