gutted for Yates, but just didn't have the technical nouse to take on the final descent without issue with on of the best descenders in the business breathing down his neck.
Who knows what the GC will look like.
Alaphillipe is a star!!!

Thomas is good at time trials. I don't know if he has always gone all out in Grand Tour time trials when he hasn't been in GC contention in the past, but when he does go all out he can time trial very well.
He's the current British time trial champion, he finished 8th in the 2016 Olympic time trial, but most notably he won the first stage of the TDF last year which was a time trial.
I think this time trial is only 31km. Dumoulin isn't taking 2 minutes out of a motivated Thomas over 31km. If Dumoulin, or Froome, want to overtake Thomas, then they need to take time out of him in the Pyrenees.
Edit: double post
Im watching live today since it’s pretty much the deciding stage and well set up for drama throughout the GC top ten, but feeling torn on the streaming options. ITV4 live seems to be a hyper compressed SD stream but I’ve come to like their latest commentary team. An aceplayer stream of Eurosport on the other hand is resplendent in 1080p but I just can’t listen to Sean Yates “ughhhh”-ing through half the race - amazing that he gets paid to talk for a living.
Dumoulin did take 1:21 out of Froome at the last World's ITT which was also 31Km, so it could be close and if they're on the same times as now then Froome could well end up 3rd. But G has won quite a few stage race TT's of late and would have won the Criterium de Dauphine if he hadn't crashed.
Fingers crossed but we'll have to see how things stand after today and the rest of the Pyrenees.
