    Thomas makes his move. Alaphillipe is shot at.

    Unfortunately for Geraint, Bernal has blown them both out of the water.

    Great days racing, 30 odd KMs to go.

    Unbelievable. Race neutralised due to snow and hail!!!!


    It was pushing 35 degrees when they set off.

    Looks like there was a landslide blocking the road (in addition to the sleet, hail and snow!)

    Gutted, was all set to be one of the greatest stages ever as they came over the top of L'Isoran and then, nothing. All stopped. Thought G was trying to hold his group up a bit so Pouls could get back on and help him pressure Allaphillipe even more on the final climb. Allaphillipe started the descent on fire to try and limit his losses and you still had De Plus there to help kruijswijk put pressure on G and Allaphillipe and who could tell what Mani Buchmann would have done an the final climb as he's never held such a high position on GC at this stage in a Grand tour before.
