Dumoulin crashed a few minutes ago and has abandoned, hope that doesn't compromise his Olympics.

ITV speculating it's a broken wrist, which would certainly rule him out. That would be heartbreaking. Hope the team still invite him out to Rio at least as a supporter. They have enough hangers-on with team badges to accommodate that, surely?Comment

I don't think he'd want to go to Rio, it'd be very much a case of "have a look at what you could have won".Comment

Giant - Alpecin saying Dumoulin has broken his wrist, so no chance of him being ready for Rio. That's a desperate shame.
Skies threatening, Dan Martin dons a rain jacket, there's spectators with their umbrellas up. Could be a fun descent.Comment

What's Froome up to? He's dropped right to the back of the peloton as they cross the top of the climb and all his team mates are still up front.
Majka's got enough points to win KoM. Wish I'd had a flutter on him after the first stage given that I suggested it on here...Comment

Rolland chute - looks a sore one.
Real shame about Dumoulin; you want your Olympic time trial to feature the best time triallists.Comment

Rolland got lucky with that crash, a little earlier and he would have smashed into the car.
Lots of rain now as the riders descend, I suppose it's better to have full on rain rather than drizzle making it greasy.Comment

Fascinating stat from Eurosport - never has any Grand Tour completed without at least one stage win from an Italian, French or Spanish rider. But no one from any of those countries has won a stage at this Tour.Comment

Froome needs to not panic here and just stick with as many team mates as he can - they can pace him back when he gets a bike change.Comment
