Ineos seeking some glory. Tom Pidcock leading the peloton hunting down the breakaway. Gap 5:43 and dropping.

Hurt everywhere. Stoic faces everywhere. Hard to predict. Beautiful racing.

Ryan Gibbons got a handy lead, can he hang on for a stage win?

Gutsy show of stamina by the African champ. This course today, eina moer.

And the mountain goats begin to lock horns!

This’ll be big ride for Haig as he jolls with Roglič, Mas, Yates.  
 

The courageous Gibbons pedalling squares on the steeper slopes.

Gibbons like a sheep amongst the mountain goats here. What a good outing for him.

Real shame he didn’t get that!

Gibbons gaan lekka zzz vanaand. Awesome outing. 

What a ‘steal’ by AG2R’s Champoussin.

[Yyyy]

the exact moment when the camera captured the AG2R rider passing Roglics group is meme worthy.

Looks like everything fell apart for Ineos as Yates was not able to dispose of Haig

Great ride by Bahrain. 

Anyone know what happen to Lopez. I believe he got "emotional". Not judging as it can be quite the mental challenge to deal with to watch your entire 3 weeks fall apart on missing a single move.

I wonder why Yates did not push on when he had Haig on the ropes a few times.  Maybe he was trying for a stage victory but that was always going to be unlikely as Roglic was covering his attacks.

I think Superman might have a new nickname after today... Maybe something like Crybaby?
