Poulidor retired years ago mate.

Great attack at the end by Van der Poel mirroring the end of yesterday's stage

He's taken yellow from Ala as well it seems.

Sobbing at the presser after, the big Jessie

He made the same attack on the previous loop that got him the 8 seconds he needed to take the yellow.

Clearly planned it.
Fair play. Great tribute to his grandfather that.

Poulidor was always a crowd favourite ahead of Anquetil who was considered a bit aloof from the ordinary fans, but never won the TDF despite a number of podium finishes.

Gesink out.
G Thomas also in a bad way but back on his bike.

There's still 1 dutch wonder left.

How many crashes in the peloton today?

Lots of GC favourites losing time and some nasty injuries.

[ChrisW]

Cav just one behind Merckx now.

[ChrisW]

Veulta starting tomorrow.
Jumbo and Ineos teams look like they may dominate.

Van Aert or Poel for Paris Roubaix the day.
