    35 minutes or so for the cut off. Should be no problem at all for the sprinters

    Trentin came 14th on the stage, so i think he picks up a few more points?

    8th for Nico - chapeau

    I think that makes it 63 top-10 finishes in Grand Tours

    The worse he does today the better for him, he can have a rest and then go all out for a stage win over the next few days where the GC contenders will leave him off.

    The best he can hope for in this tour is a stage win.

    64 I think


    He is getting stronger ...very hard to win a stage of the Tour at this point because of all the class riders now free from GC but you can only try

    Hard to know. Froome is past it imo and certainly couldn't match the two Slovenians.

    Thomas wasn't in form the last few weeks but seems to have improved.

    Bernal seemed to have a back injury coming into it.

    Tomorrow's stage looks like hell - 24% gradient for parts of the last climb. If Sam survives tomorrow it might go down to the wire in Paris.
    No sprinters points for time-trial so that leaves 4 more stages for points.

    Apart from the TT, I think tomorrow is the last big GC day. Of course anyone on a bad day could lose time the day after but if you are 4-7 on GC and not a supreme TT specialist then tomorrow Should be your go big or go home day.....looking at you Messrs Porte and Landa

    Not a chance. Both conservative and have always seemed to hold a position on GC then risk it

    Lotto Soudal have the final 4 places now so if they can’t get Ewan under the limit tomorrow De Gendt will be on his own :)

    I know but always hope for some excitement, a real attack not the little joke attack from Cofidis today. I wish the DSs and leaders would grow a pair and say ‘all or nothing , podium or blowup and lose 20mins’. For example I’d say nobody, including Pierre, gives a sh&t that Pierre Roland once finished 8th.
    Jumbo are so strong it might be impossible anyway!
