Simon Geschke fails to get to the break and therefore is going to be relying on results elsewhere in order to win the spotty jersey. That's a very Cofidis moment.

I was thinking just the same thing. Cofidis leading the KoM for almost the entire race and then just not being able to hold on right at the end.
I’ve loved the way Geschke has ridden this tour as a non-climber to try and win it. Totally warmed to him.

ITV missed all that because they were trying to cycle through all their ad breaks before the Hautacam. Either of them would have been justified in riding on under unwritten rules as they were pilot error, although Millar pointed out that for Vingegaard it would have been a waste of effort as all he needs to do is defend.
Incidentally by my calculations if Pog beats Vingegaard for the stage again then the latter will lead KoM by a single point with Geschke three points back. There's three 4th cats still to go in the remaining days, each with a single point up for grabs.

FWIW I don't think the break has enough of an advantage to stay away, unless Pog waits too late to start attacking as a result of his crash.

Honestly don't know if I'd prefer Pinot to win KOM (cos he's lovely) or WVA (because it would be great and hilarious).
That was super classy by Vingegaard but it was also canny, as it likely neutralised the battle for the remainder of the descent. That doesn't detract from it being a great moment.
