VIBES!

Hate to see it

Jumbo massacre.

hope the bonus from that sprint was worth it for remco, classic pog playbook

Big comeback from Remco.

Only lost 32 seconds on rog so all is not lost for remco . Jumbo had a very goid day

Remco looked shakey putting his jacket on there….

If one assumes the current top 8 in GC will drop out working for 'the big favourites™' (possibly a big if for Lenny) or generally not having legs, there are only 21 seconds between the next 7. Finely poised.

What a beautiful day.
The coverage is so shite though, missed Roglic's attack, missed Vingegaard's attack, missed Sep Kuss' attack. Is Mitch McConnell in charge?

Maybe separatists are very subtly at work…

A Jumbo 1-2-3 at the end of the race would really wind up the loons though.
But, there's still a long way to Paris.

On this type of stage they should have a picture in picture so you can follow what's happening in gc and up in the break. Obviously wouldn't be able to cover everything but would certainly not miss the main events completely.

It's not good enough, quite frankly. Will it get better, we'll have to wait and see. Now's the time to invest. Has the break gone or will it go broke? Have I stopped making sense, am I a talking head, are we headed for a new red jersey, will the cows come home, will Cathy come home, isn't it, quite frankly.

What we need is at least three more helicopters and 30 more motorbikes then we can have one more camera on the road to improve coverage.

We can use the spilt oil to fuel them.

Perfect.

The tiny bits of French cycling twitter that I've seen today are really fizzy. Pinwho?

Maybe Will can decipher that one ^

martinez hype

Kuss absolutely chugging the life out of that Champers. Total lad.

I don't think he's going for GC

It's not Martinez it's Martinez! Learn French man

So proud of Giuseppe. No one has deserved to chug a magnum of prosecco more.

Yay! My house (apartment building) is on telly!

Decent analysis from Philippa

Crikey, it's crash central on this stage.

Christ, that camera work was abysmal.
