Alaphilippe's family really should turn off the TV's when the descent of l'Iseran starts.

Pinot has apparently/possibly be stung by a wasp and is totally out of it, falling back more and more and more  

[heywoodu 16,000]

Yeah, Pinot two minutes behind the other guys now already. This is so terribly sad  

[heywoodu 16,000]

No confirmation about a sting or something for Pinot, but he's already three minutes behind and he's clearly very much not well.

This is looking more and more for an abandon very soon. Total disaster for Pinot

[Bohemia 1,447]

That's it, it's over for Pinot 

[hckošice 15,516]

and here it is. Abandon Pinot in tears.

And the race as a whole...pretty much the only interesting guy in the top. Now we have Alaphilippe who won't do anything else but hang on for dear life, boring Bernal (at least he had some sort of attack), Kruijswijk only following, annoying Thomas and ghost Buchmann who for whatever reason still is in the top-5 (now). Meh.
