Anyone doing those kind of speeds downhill (and he was probably in the 90s) gets my total respect! It terrifies me just watching!!

Totally, but I just thought he looked slightly more ragged than the others. I would be on the brakes!

Cav has just finished. About 6 mins inside the cutoff.

They just roll in within the limit as best possible to save effort. Close though...

A few minutes later Soren Kragh Anderson showed how it should be done, arriving with three seconds to spare

Boardman was suggesting that some of the other stages pose more of a risk to Cav than this one.
Well, they probably do now
Tbh, during the stage, I went from thinking he'd be OK to thinking it'd be close.

He had 4 team members with him.
The team are putting huge effort into supporting him.

Tearing ourselves away from the grupetto for a moment, that Wout van Aert is some rider.
That was his fourth stage win. He's won a couple bunch sprints already at the Tour. So for a change - why not an iconic mountain stage? Not sure if he's won an ITT yet but if not, it's only a matter of time.
