demare's closing speed must have been bonkers compared to the others as he caught up more than a bike length on Ewan. That pretty much sums it up... i Don't know how far it was, but more than a bike length on Ewan.... going diagonally... that's shifting some. And the arms too

Cav's chances of taking another stage win just took a serious knock:

 

[Vetplant]

30kms in and no break is established, yet, but not for a lack of trying.

The parcours could favour a breakaway win, so nobody wants to miss it. Average speed is currently at 50km/h.

Breakaway taking shape on the inclines now. Wout Poels way in front, many trying to join him.

Davide Formolo (UAE Team Emirates), Koen Bouwman, Tom Dumoulin (Jumbo-Visma), Diego Camargo (EF Education-EasyPost), Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo), Wout Poels (Bahrain-Victorious) and Davide Villella (Cofidis)

 

I'm not going to pick one, but it is setting up for one of these okes in the break taking the win today.

I think they will do their best to reel them in..... But I'm hoping Bauke Molleme wins the stage and the jersey.

Should be the break's turn to taste some glory today.... (said cautiously)

with each pedal stroke, this looks more and more likely. here's hoping.

[Vetplant]

Thrilling finish between these riders! 

[lechatnoir]

Jeepers, Jumbo were impressive today. Well, Bouwman and Dumoulin. Bouwman raced smart and stoked for Dumoulin

Great stage to watch. Fascinating to watch.
