    Harsh on Almeida being so close 2 mountain days in a row. Hopefully he has enough left to attack again tomorrow. Has Bernal rightly blown here?

    As noted in my edit! He looked like he was slowing much more than turned out to be the case.

    Yates needs to do tomorrow what Froome did to him a few years ago.

    Quick-Step really messed up not backing Almeida as their leader.

    Dani Martinez should be a GC leader with another team.

    Caruso managed that really well too actually, although only 20 seconds now back to Yates in the overall.

    What are people's predictions for tomorrow? I'm guessing Bernal will lose more than a minute to Yates but will still hold on.

    He was last year at EF.
    Almeida's leaving Quickstep at the end of the year, hence backing golden boy Remco who had just signed a new 6 year contract.
    I've a fear he's going to Ineos...

    Dan was in 10th place before today's stage, however he certainly has consolidated his position. Great ride from him today.

    What about this chiropractor that Wiggins is talking about who is saying Bernal's back is 'falling off'

    Surely he didn,t mean Wiggo to broadcast that as surely discretion is required in his job

    Yates could put 90 seconds into him if all went well

    Almeida may set a record for top 10 performances without a win

    I’m every GT there’s a Sky/Ineos domestique who should be a leader elsewhere. Their budget is ridiculous

    Just looking at last year's giro, didn't realise he had so many - 11, and 4 again this year so far

    I don't think Simon Yates is that much better than Bernal at TTs

    Yates and Bernal’s opening TT was basically the same. But I wonder if Bernal is struggling with fatigue or his back will he be much weaker come the final long TT? No Ineos train to hide behind.
