So give the highlights a miss then 'Tumble..'??

^It's definitely worth a watch. It just didn't go as everyone expected.

It was indeed worth a watch!! Qantana was exceptional in pulling away in the manner he did. I suspect the GC contenders didn't expect him to take back so much time. Shouldn't be a threat come sunday all the same.

Watching Alaphillipe descend the way he did was a thing of beauty!! As was referred to on commentary, he passed those in front of him like a MotoGP rider would!! Fantastic stuff - I hope he can make it to Paris now in Yellow....deserves too for sure (no offence Geraint)!!! I have done a bit of descending in a wheelchair (nothing like this of course) and the thrill is hard to describe! You have to do it at least once in your life!!

Wow chaos as race is neutralised about 25km from the finish as a freak hailstorm and snowstorm in a valley they were due to go down near the finish

Alaphillipe was behind bernal and thomas but was catching up but was neutralised Yellow jersey should now be on Bernal

bet the french will be accusing ineos of having a snow making machine

No official timing at the top of the last climb.... This could be interesting.
