Intermarche-Wanty-Goubert are a WT team.

Oh wow. I see they are what was CCC. That one passed me by.

Would love to see Christopher Juul-Jensen do the business. He grew up around the corner from me here. Seems like a decent bloke in interviews etc.

Bahrain-Victorius sorting the wheat from the chaff here.

Gap coming down :S

De Marchi having a great dig for pink 👌 Should be a pretty fun finale for the stage!

Wow that gap really came down quick on this climb

9.5% for 4.5km? In the wet and cold?
Sounds horrendous.

these last few km dont look particularly fun

Would love to see Dombrowski get this.

looks horrendous too. I rode up Dog Kennel Hill on track gear last week, it felt like how they look.

OOOOOH.
That's tonight sortedthen.

Looks like he might.

Is he even skinnier than Carthy?

He's 30 not 20 Robbie.

Looks like his iliac artery surgery worked.

Maybe I should get it done so I can win a GT stage.

Carthy looking fresh there

This whole taking the bike separate and walking the winner over to the podium/doping control looks so awkward

Great racing

Bad day for Jumbo Visma.

Cor , they’ve earn’t their money today ... grim ... but let’s hope we have the same weather a week tomorrow .. !

Is it me or does Dombrowski sound like a younger John Malkovich?

I guess the GC leader for Quickstep is Evenepoel then!
Impressed at his tough hard stage resilience.

You really can’t ask for more from a day of racing:

Win from the breakaway
Jersey changes hands
Riders getting really emotional after a win
Gaps opening up in GC
