All kicking off in the breakaway!
chaotic chase group - unless somebody smashes it into a smaller sub-group it'll be lucky to get him back
... oh !
7 out of 10 for effort
more doom
break in pieces !!!
can see the end of this being mental
I think Mohoric is trying to kill them one by one

mental frantic stuff in the break!
That's one hell of a view to look up to. Already climbing quite steeply, look up and there's a massive great volcano in front of you.
Peloton riding hard, it's going to absolutely shatter into tiny little pieces any second.
yep
don't think the locals will take kindly on the yellow jersey not competing for the win on an icon climb :/
Nice decorative work on the little mountain trams!

I reckon we may see a bit of spectacle from that jersey sometime pretty soon
Turns out that Matej Mohorič can climb as well as he can descend. These Slovenians are kinda handy aren't they?!
don't think riding for 8th will cut the mustard with the locals, they like their Panache
Woods ! - hope Jorgenson doesn't crack
(surely not Mohoric once it gets steep)
Christ that is steep. SO steep.
not the same without fans on the way up :/
Simon Yates looks good considering he had a hard crash yesterday

Makes it a unique climb 🤷♂️
seems theres enough round for barriers and supporters
Epic for the win - now lets see the GC battle. Fantastic ride from Tom Pidcock.
Wow, Latour
OK, strap in everyone
really damp squib
fannying around
then the Pog goes 🙂
really damp squib
No, I'm loving it. Full view of the riders, mano a mano. Two races in one - stage win up the front and GC behind. This is epic.

Crowd control, logistics etc would be unworkable.
agreed - impressive from both but not the scrap I was hoping for
COME ON TOM!
it's 2-1 to Pog on points with Jonas still leading on time. (though its interesting that the attack came from the Pog after jumbo going through the motions of setting it up for Jonas)
lead @ the top of the standing down to 17 !
Yep, Jumbo-Visma might need the rest day to have another look at their tactics cos at this rate Pogacar will be taking a dozen seconds on every climb...
Chapeau to Mr Woods 🙂 though I don't think that performance from the yellow jersey and his team will endure him to the french public :/
Much as I want Pog to win that climb suited him, punchy, not very long. The surprising bit for me is that when Kuss was on the front giving it the beans both Yates and Pidcock and Rodriguez were still with them, not sure Jumbo were doing anything other than trying to discourage attacks
Weird stage. Very weird. Pretty disappointing from most angles. I mean obviously not from Woods but I can’t imagine 99% of spectators didn’t want Jorgensen to get there and the GC didn’t really come alive. Best rider today for me was Simon Yates.
But I’m probably just grumpy cos Cav - I couldn’t even bring myself to watch the highlights last night. I’ve been a Cav fan since day 1 and I’m upset
Edit - I know that sounds stupid but I was so depressed last night
