Massively scaled down from L'Aquila in terms of the break, but similar in terms of the guys up front now winding up with almost as many domestiques remaining as those in the bunch.

Hahaha the guy from Total Energie Direct just realized that he's basically towing the whole Peleton on his own with his last teammate having disappeared and goes hecticly to his radio on what to do. Hope that support for UAE was worth the big bucks burning through all their riders.

Maintain that must be illness given how sharp he was on the punchy stuff to start the race.

Yep Nairo gone. Love that new 3D map graphic too
Needed that on that Giro stage where the cameras couldn't fly.

And unless he's ill, what was the point in making the effort to put in a solid TT to stay within 3 minutes on GC, and then sit up and lose time on a day like today?

Teunissen should still get over the top before the peloton and assist Roglic there.

Have to look on the bright side if you're UAE, at least Bjerg bagged himself a scrappy 11th in that TT the other day.

Or shipping time to win stages.

Maybe but it wasn't like he soft pedalled the TT or anything. I dunno we'll see, hopefully he goes well this weekend if it is just stage hunting.

A decent final effort from AF to bring it back to something more bridgeable

So... I've been painting the toilets at work today and just listening to the commentary on and off .... is this a Jumbo super move which could give Van Aert a five minute advantage and be a serious GC contender?

Theres a bunch of Arkea in that group so either Quintana got back or he's losing time on purpose
