Thought there was only one winner before the whole thing started, still think that but it's a different guy now.

Is he better than the defending champion? His team possibly due to the decimation of the UAE lot certainly are and will win it for him.

Great ride from Pidcock so far (and Froome to be fair!).

Waiting for things in the GC to heat up.

How is Pidcock looking?

I'm following on the website as I'm at work.

He's nudging out a few more seconds - 25s at the moment and less than 5km to go! He's hit half a minute ahead!

I've been up Alpe d'Huez - in a Renault Espace! And the Galibier come to think of it, in the same Espace.

How is Pidcock looking?

Strong, very strong, I think he's got it in the bag.

A win on Alpe d'Huez in his first Tour de France would be superb.

Strong, very strong, I think he's got it in the bag. A win on Alpe d'Huez is his first tour would be superb.

I hope he's got enough left in the tank. Deserves the win today.

Pogacar has attacked but Vingegaard goes with him! Pidcock 35s ahead and 2.6km left

 

[MCFC1993]

Bardet broken. Thomas should be on the podium tonight.

Vingegaard must be happy though, Jumbo Visma are so strong.


Here we go; Pogacar attacks, Vingegaard with him every step though.

17.6kph up a 9% incline is INSANE!
