Songezo Jim leading the bunch up the climb for Dimension Data. Jim is riding only his second Grand Tour. The South African only learned to ride a bike when he was 14 years old.

 

 

Wow :clap:

98km remaining from 196km
The group has just been through the feed zone so the gap will edge out a little bit as the riders take a look at what's in today's musette.

Oss sprints for the line in the intermediate sprint and his break companions leave him to it. Zhupa crosses the line in second with Brutt in third.

Lampre Merida and Trek-Segafredo form competing trains. Nizzolo takes the sprint from the bunch with Trentin in second and Ulissi third. That wasn't a full-on sprint though. There's still another intermediate sprint and then the finish to come.

In the break, Daniel Oss is likely to be interested in the points at the intermediate sprint. He's not too far down that classification.

Yes Jungels has really stepped up, but he used a lot of energy for no real reason riding at the front, maybe its youthful exuberance but it was odd tactics I thought, Amador was out the back and Majka was in the bunch with him, he had no reason to use all that energy and especially to give Nibali a free ride, he would have gained the same placing just sitting in the bunch.

 

Because Jungels is happy and young rather than grumpy and old I reckon. ;)

Serious chance that Didata could take a win today.

I donno hey.. not much cooperation in the chasing peloton. .bit deurmekaar there.

 

 

 

Maybe just maybe the break can survive.. come on OSS go score me some points

He needs to trim those split ends though hey, Gen ????

Sags's hair looks like it gets regular protein treatments though

Oss is just surfer dude-in-Bali--for-six-months though ????
