How many riders have dropped now, altogether? I reckon at least 30?

Had a thought last night. Pointless pre-race interviews could be reinvented to serve a useful purpose; the question being - “how is your name pronounced?”. With 170 riders, then by the end of the 3 weeks commentator pronunciation would be perfect, with obvious knock-on future benefit.

CK mangles names on purpose as comedy and to give "balance" to Hatch's overemphasised but usually correct style, doesn't he? No one can get so many so wrong without trying!

I think I counted 29 plus Soler if he doesn't make it

He so useless he probably pronounces his own name wrong!

These two do seem to be in a class of their own. Thomas doing well for Ineos but not quite on the same page. I'd quite like to see Ineos attack at some point with both Yates & Thomas high on GC.

Not necessarily. If he can keep hydrated he can still finish. Son no. 2's thrown up in a race, but kept going and recovered.

According to the web thingy he's 43 mins off the lead so not looking good.

The winner of today’s stage sounds like been punched in the stomach. What’s happening with Vlasov? He showed so much promise last season but he’s been crap this tour.

Mon homme! Chapeau! 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Thomas had better watch out. Nairoman is right behind him!

Well, two minutes behind him.
