I think @Jorgan has a good pick with Rolland here, and the fact he might be “allowed” to go over the first climb for the points seems to weigh up well.
That then leaves RogaCar to battle it out on the descent and up the next climb.
But Yates could also be looking to claw back time to drag himself onto the podium.
What about Uran?
Who is usually pretty good at altitude and has had a quiet tour so far, but has slowly been riding himself up the rankings…
Wonder if Bora will go for the intermediate today?
Will Ineos support Adam Yates now?

Probably around the same time Dan Martin blows up as well 
Jules is still entertaining, they’ve been ripping him to bits on the podcast and the GCN post race wrap up.
Quite funny (for dry cyclist humour)
So is this breakaway winning the stage or not?
No, they’ll be caught after, or just before, the first col.
ETA: I dunno now! Look at the gap, just growing and growing…
de Gendt has been sent back to chat Ewan all the way around.
Ewan is DEFFO keeping his powder dry to smash Paris…Bennett may be working too hard through these stages, might dull his sprint on the last couple of sprint stages?
They’ll be back and destroy everyone next year.SDB doesn’t like failing
