ITT, don't expect much to change at the top, Mountains classification could get a shuffle. Props to our Sam First off at midday Irish, in GC Order.

He was talking the fighting talk in the interview after the stage yesterday, saying he was going for it. Jesus H did he deliver.

Great to see Porte on the podium after all his TDF disasters.

That's just incredible from Pogacar.

And he won this Tour without a super team behind him which makes it all the more special.

I think hincapie was right when he said he was just waiting to take the yellow at the end due to having no team.

This is the sort of thing that could break roglic too.

Fignon wasn't the same after 89.

Unbelievable. Pogacar is going to go into yellow here.

No procession tomorrow, they have to race.

Wrong! No fight tomorrow. He is losing over a minute here. Unbelievable stuff. I don't know what else to say.

What was up with Roglics helmet. His visor at the start looked like it was above his eyes. It was all over the gaff when he was coming in

Did Jumbo pay the price for doing so much work over the last 3 weeks?

Well played Podge. Well played Podge.

Hope he’ll be back for a few more attempts. He’s class and he didn’t go that bad really and it’s not a choke, still came 5th on stage after brutal 3 weeks. But nobody could compete with the extraterrestrial stuff from Pog

Roglic didn’t lose it
Pogacar won it
Incredible ride

Roglic was still 5th on the stage
I’d say he would have been thinking this morning - finish top 5 and yellow is mine

Plenty of social distancing space on the podium in Paris tomorrow. Yellow, Polka dot and White Jersey for Pogacar, Green for Sam!

Even on a good day, Roglic was losing the jersey.

Rob Hatch talks some nonsense sometimes on Eurosport.

My prediction for today:
1) Roglic.
2) Porte
3) WvA or Pogacar.

Well, they all in the top 5.

As well as winning the Yellow, White & Polka dot Jerseys, Pog is currently 8th in the green jersey standings as well!
