indeed and bonus second on the final climb tmr (before a shortish fast descent in Morzine) and some other stages have bonus seconds on the big climbs I think

Really looking forward to the next couple of days as they will be cycling over roads I have ridden on too, that descent into Morzine is very fast indeed and narrow-ish at the bottom.
Not quite sure how they are getting to the finish line after entering the village but I think it’s going to be frantic!

Excellent, a wee tiny uphill climb to the finish!

Big stage again today....Im going with your boy @GuyBoden Skjelmose for the stage,might throw Pidders in with him...would he risk it ? Suits him but I've a feeling he might be eyeing the podium up.
Jumbo are going going to go for this aren't they ? Let UAE do all the work yesterday and looked like a good few of their own riders peel off early.Im just hoping Pogi can match them.
Too busy to be able to watch these stages live which is killing me,highlights for me again.

Jumbo have to go for it today. The main climb could suit V more than Pogi - it was a stage similar to this one where V defeated Pogi last year.
V doesn't take seconds here and there, he does big sustained attacks and takes chunks of time. Today is one of those days that could suit him.
But...being a Pogi fan, I'm hoping he can not only hang in but reverse that scenario and do a number on V today.
Would like Pidcock for the stage win though, win up the final climb, descend like a demon to victory!

Yip, it’s a very technical and fast descent which should favour Pidcock and it’s not a flat finish either. I expect to see a fair bit of IG at the front today
