According to reddit (I know...), the farmers were attempting to set the bales alight when the police arrived. If that's true it makes the use of force seem a little more reasonable.

Yes indeed. Probably need to wait for the news reports to see what the official line is.

3 Movistar riders, 3 Sunweb, 3 Merida... teams with significant numbers up there. Yates and Hayman is a dangerous combo to have up there too.

Hayman is probably only there to stand a better chance of getting past the time cut...unless that's just false modesty in the Mitchelton Scott video diaries.

3 Movistar riders, 3 Sunweb, 3 Merida

Interesting. Mov and Merida must be in it for the Team GC. Will TD attack and plan to hook up with teammates later on?...

Clear and Present Danger.

I don't think Hayman is at risk of winning with two cat 1 climbs but he could tow Yates to the bottom of them at speed and shut down any attacks from others before the hills.

Romain Bardet takes a sticky goggle

demare is 11 minutes down and on his own currently

He's saving himself for the Top 3 finishes in Pau and Paris

if only it had been a heat wave that would have made setting a bale of hay alight easier they might have succeeded...

Can someone please help me understand what these 47 riders in their entirety are trying to achieve in the breakaway ahead of 3 huge climbs today?

where's Hinault when you need him

Some more good pictures from L'Equipe:

"It's coming right for us"

grab the stage win or help their team mates grab the stage win? it's still a thing...

ok I guess so, the teams with more than one rider in current break have at least one climber type to go for a stage. thanks! :)

Breakaway riders wanting to win stage controversy! :)

Also multiple people from multiple GC teams in the break ready to help in a Dumoulin/Bardet attack.

Having Moscon today would have been pretty helpful, Rowe and Castroviejo are going to be knackered...

Oh fuck..

Fuck me phil Gilbert over a wall on descent

I was falling asleep (well tired) and just wake up to that ...! No no no.......

Ooof, that looked like it might hurt

Gilbert!

fuuuuuuu.................
