gc has stopped being interesting but the tdf is still fantastic. You really felt for Sagan on the descent, it was beautiful but not enough

How great is this race 🙂

Agreed though I'm listening. And probably better riding than I can do. Though I have occasionally ridden a mountain bike.

I have a feeling GC might have a little shake up this evening. Contador eyeing this descent and Froome only has G with him. Nibbles and Bertie could get a gap if they work. G's not the best descender in the world but if he stays upright he'll close any gaps from Froome at the bottom.

Nibbles has gone for it by the looks of things, no surprise there then.

Interesting reaction from Sagan on the finish line, looked to be happy with his ride. Certainly put in a massive effort today.

Nibbles has gone for it by the looks of things, no surprise there then.

To very little reaction from anyone!

Nasty off for G, smacked a telegraph pole with the rear of his shoulder. I'd expect him to be out. Rotten.

Barguil overshot, shoulder barged G, G was braking, got a foot out high sided over edge and hit head on telegraph pole. Official feed says he's back up and riding.

Must've managed to scrub enough speed then to survive.

ITV commentary saying G is only 40s behind Froome's group.

Hard as nails.

Star.

He'd not be badly thought of for having a bit of a sit down after that.

I think G may be having a quiet word with someone tonight after that incident!

Looks like Barguil used the Playstation method of cornering to get round that - barge sideways into other cars to bounce yourself back on course.
