Massive fall in the peloton, race neutralized because there are not enough ambulances available at the moment. Pedrero and Meintjes seem to be the main victims (no 'worries', but definitely injuries).

Whole clutch of abandons subsequently 

 

Tom Pidcock the first of the top 10 to crack, will be losing places.

 

Simon Yates next to struggle.

 

Adam Yates now leading out Pogačar & Vignegaard.

Pogačar attacks now, Vignegaard defending!  3k more climbing.

 

Pogačar can’t make it stick, both together again.

P & V obsessed with their personal battle - Rodriguez gets the stage win & makes up big time.

This is seriously such an exciting Tour  Last year it was my first time following the race closely, but I must admit I was already getting bored by the end of the second week. This year not at all

That goddamn motorbike that stopped Pogacar's attack  (not to mention the idiot 'fans' with their toxic smoke bombs on the climb, luckily fewer than yesterday....)

 

When do they learn, one may ask. At least the main part of the stage was entertaining, more or less. Tense downhill at the end, nice last 4km of the big climb
