Interesting. That totally changes the complexion of the whole race.

70km to go, gap cut to a bit over 2min then going back out slightly. The cat 1 climb starts about 60km to go.

De Gendt takes the summit and starts the descent through patchy snow (not on the road), sunshine and shade, extending his gap slightly. Eurosport commentators call it tempofest I think and they go to adverts just before the peloton hit the top

His team tweets that De Gendt has taken over the KoM lead. Mas and Bizkarra rejoin him on the descent. Gap steadyish at 1m30.

Got out of meeting just in time to see the win. But what happened to Adam Yates, Carthy and others, on the floor a few km out?

Nothing on tv repeats. Twitter from a few teams says it was in the final km. Also lots of abuse of Movistar for not catching De Gendt, much of it in Spanish.
