Kruij’s leading, if he stays clear he could be in Yellow by the end of the stage..
Anyone watching tv could give an update as to his facial features and colour 😜
he looks ok
All the pure sprinters out.......
So is this route just too tough for a weighty sprinter or is there just not enough juice doing the rounds to ride not normal?
Not huge fan of a sprint finish stage but seems a shame that it seems to be beyond them all.
Well you could argue that it’s better they climb off than another week and a half in agony.
Its not unusual for sprinters to leave the Tour, does seem to be a large proportion this year I’ll grant you.
Kruijswijk looking ok, reminds me of Rosettos break in Tdy. Even if he manages the stage win, or yellow jumper I think it will be incidental to the overall result, certainly he's going to burn all his matches!
G working for Froome, he's next on the front...

Faster average speeds, shorter stages and tough climbs one after another mean the cut-off time becomes harder to achieve for the heavyweights so out the back door they go?
Champs Elysees will be quiet this year...
I don't think Froome looks 100% comfortable........
He never does 😂
And Nairo goes pop.
Every time I hear Bardet, this comes into my head...
Champs Elysees will be quiet this year…
I'm sure Sagan will be happy to add that to his impressive list of wins.
Well this is going to be interesting, does Froome need to lay down a marker
'Fans' over the barriers and moto chaos.
Kruijswijk has had his chips now surely?
What happened to Bardet? He's dropped of the tracker (watching tracker at work).
Froome awesome, cycling "fans" on the roadside are tossers.

He's still in the mix
Thought Froome was away! Come on G!
Bardet, Froome, Thomas and Dumolin in a group to duke it out for the win
Nibali poleaxed,possibly by a fan. Not good, lot of ahloles outthere
eurosport reporting froome was punched. froome responds by jumping the gap and passing course leader.
top job
This is awesome stuff.
COME ON GERAINT!
💥brilliant stuff again!
Oh Yes
Brilliant!
What a finish.
Unappreciated by the chumps booing on the audio at the finish.
Wow!
SUPER G!!! 💥
well it was worth putting a quid on him!
didn't mean to, mind.... thought i was betting 10p.... damn that decimal point!
That was good.
Wow.
Another fantastic ride by Dumoulin.
Great stage!
Nibali so impressive there as well
Hat, Super G.
This is going to get interesting.
Never thought I'd see Thomas winning on the Alpe.
He's going to have to have a bad day soon or Froomey is not going to be sharing his evening coco with him.
Froome yet to win on the Alpe
G can win this not following Froome but following Big Tom
Speechless! Go Get.
Doumalin rode brilliantly too.
G's interview is hilarious. But once again he's clear that he's working for CF.
Wow! Wonder when TD will get narked off with being GTs domestique though?
Froomes got a problem called G not being able to shake Tom!
Is it a temperature thing with the Yates twins ?
TV in Canada is saying Nibali got taken out by a race motorbike

It will be interesting to find out what Froome saw of the crash, because he attacked as soon as he got through the fans. G rode over Nibali’s wheel, so must have had an idea about what happened. A few years ago most riders would have allowed Nibali and Roglic to get back on before attacking if they knew they’d been taken out by a fan or a bike.
