Some sprinters, that is  

 

Girmay didn't make the cut, for example.

Polka dot wearer Lenny Martinez should - but certainly won't, because, you know - be on his way to a DQ. Massive double/triple sticky bottle on the Glandon, if that's how you need to win that jersey....right.

Well, Vignegaard went for the full Chris Froome a while back & it lasted all.of five seconds.  Lipowitz also put in a bold attempt for the stage & might pay for it.....and looks like he's going for a pint with Jacquelin!

Lipowitz well & truly fried here

Roglič is going back to him?   No, is fighting on.

This might be one of the most boring 'queen stages' ever in the Tour de France, damn.

Finally an attack by Vingegaard, but instead of the all-or-nothing attempt he announced, this was more like a minor sting. Didn't even get Onley out of the saddle.

Sort of a burst that is only going to benefit Onley.

Pogacar doing the most unPogacar-like tactics in just keeping his lead and not going for stage wins is making the third week a snoozefest
