That’s three times van der Poel has almost been into the barriers.

Racing line - use all of the road!

Roglic also very thight in some corners.

We’ll just see how Ganna & van Aert get on, but after him I think vdP can start practising his victory interviews.

Word is the rain is stopping, so possibility of an upset.

 

`Ganna & Pogačar both fast!

 

van Aert faster!

 

That must be the win for WvA.

Double jinx,  cause Robbie McEwan was saying exactly the same thing.

Would be amazing to see him go for the green jersey, but this is a good way to start that if he does

You'd have thought he'd be too busy managing Everton to win a stage of the tour....

We are seeing a lot of pictures of fortifications but none of them helped  when Lord Nelson paid a visit in 1801.
