Great stage this, expect Bernal to take the stage and blow everyone away.

It looked like Vlasov down to me but Hatch didn’t mention him

Few Astana in the group so obviously not!

Happy that Remco is continuing. Hope he’s OK obviously

Remco had some amount of bandaging on his left forearm. Cuts from the barrior I'd say.

Moscon is sat on here now from the looks of things in the break.

Nightmare for Ciccone

mr spuckler

The gap has really tumbled in the run-in to the last climb. Really not looking good for Dan now.

Dan in absolutely super form... but the peloton will eventually catch him

retalivity

Pity he hasnt 2 mins, looks super strong

this.lad

He's pushing on alright...

dastardly00

Ineos are back on the front... they might steady the tempo a bit... fingers crossed

gavinoontheweb

No one attacking Ineos as of yet, Dan still in play.

neris

can he do it???????

Inquitus

Aye Dan has a chance, not sure how good it is, fingers crossed!

Caruso one of few in the peloton that doesn't wear glasses.
He's the spit of Eli from Boardwalk Empire

Dodge

Everyone just hoping Ineos take it handy and don’t want Bernal to get another stage. Ha

mr spuckler

That's very early for Vlasov to be losing contact. Really impressive from Dan after the work he's done all day to be maintaining the gap given the pace in the peloton.

Think Dan needs more time than what he has.

Moscon and Pedrero and Bouchard are still in the gap here, around 10 seconds.

retalivity

"This is the most isolated we've seen Bernal here"

2 guys directly in front of him in a group of 20 and 1 other teammate further up the road??

dastardly00

hmmmm I don't trust these time gaps

mr spuckler

Those time gaps on the screen are all over the shop :pac:

0:43, then 0:56, then 1:21 then 1:43 then back to 1:25, all within the space of maybe 20 seconds!

edit...it's frustrating there's no gap to Pedrero

gavinoontheweb

Martin and his old friend from LBL.

Come on Dan

griffin100

Don’t think the gap is big enough. C’mon Dan.

happytramp

These jumping time gaps are not good for the nerves

griffin100

Have to go and collect the kids from school, gonna miss the last 5km. Feckin kids. Will tape this and avoid spoilers until I get back.

retalivity

3k marker is the killer gradients, if he gets to 2k with 30s or so he may be ok

dastardly00

The peloton passed the 5km banner 1'24" after Dan did (according to my stopwatch)

Dcully

This is one sick climb

F**k off Almeida!

He seemed to open a big gap very quickly.
