Very routine day today.   Powless &  Boassen Hagen off on a break to soak up the points, not much happening behind.  43k & a couple of decent climbs to go.

Battling on the final ciimb….van der Poel the first big name to fall away.

Pogačar & Vignegaard first over the top, but aren’t fighting for the stage win.

Right, hands up everybody who had Cofidis for the win?   Thought so.

Van dumb nervous, always a pleasure to see

Kelderman just had nothing left to close the gap. Hope it doesn't harm the team dynamic too much...

15 years it didn't happen, it was bond to happen eventually

 

But, not necessarily this way

Boy how I wish you were able to read Dutch now, Belgian media (and the comments) is absolutely comedy gold at this moment, Vingegaard is basically enemy number one because he didn't pull in front to get Van Aert to the sprint  

 

I'm quoting the main (former) commentator in the world of Belgian cycling: "This was Vingegaard's moment to show he is a true leader, his time to pull his weight. This is a loss for the personality of the Danish rider."
