    Stage underway, still no break...

    Pog to make it 2 in a row, more than likely. I'll have a punt on Vlasov to mix it up.

    Break might be allowed to win depending on who is in it. Put a couple of quid on Kamna but the main interest is to see the form of the GC guys whether they are competing for the win or not.

    When did it become super? I don't recall it having super in it's name in previous years.

    The Super bit is the last k or so on the gravel. Planche des belles filles is only the climb on the asphalt

    EDIT:, its the last 24% here

    they said on GCN or ITV4 last night that the gravel bit was so steep they had to tarmac the last 100-200m before the line, due to lack of traction/grip

    Pog & UAE look like they want to make a statement today, pulling the break back already

    If you want to brush up on your French .. https://ice.creacast.com/lequipe-au1

    That's a link to live race radio, it's very good you get to hear a lot more than the cameras show.

    Seb's voice is very recognisable isn't it if you are used to the Cycling Podcast

    EDIT : Found it , interview with Seb from a few months back.

    The tiny sliver of hope for making it a race is the idea that Pog doesn't like the heat, its looking pretty hot there today and the forecast for the next few weeks for Southern France is hot as well. Gap to the break going back out again, 2 UAE lads dropped so far

    I'm amazed they're flogging themselves this hard this early chasing the break, Hirschi out the back as well

    Kamna is full of beans, closed that gap to Geschke in about 10seconds!

    Come on Lenny. 33/1 :) Not sure if the gap is big enough tbh.

    Supporting Pinot is like Dr Johnson's verdict on second marriages "A triumph of hope over experience"

    Probably turn out that Pog did his winter training inside an active volcano and is now immune to heat too.

    Could Nairoman be the man to wheelsuck and happyslap Pog off the top step this year?


    'No' is undoubtedly the wise answer... if only he wasn't a disaster in TTs.

    Kamna might have made it if Vingegaard didn't decide to give Pog a leadout :)

    Mas and Bardet hung on well. Can't see how much time Vlasov lost.
