The breakaway day finally arrives and 26 players cheers Mads Pedersen over the line. Andrew Glover makes it 3 from 3 for the stage winners contest and Zimbo B now leads the GC by 21 seconds.

Tomorrow is the first opportunity for the pure sprinters - how fresh are those legs after 4 challenging stages. A likely bunch sprint for the fast guys tomorrow - who are you picking?

Well that didn't go as expected. Tadej Pogačar does what Tadej Pogačar wants, and today it was the win in a stage most expected the GC contenders to sit up for. Some GC casualties here as a result.

Well done to Zimbo B, Dan Towns* and Andew Glover for seeing through the bluff and picking the winner today. Andrew leads the stage winners contest with 2 victories on the bounce. Zimbo now leads the GC by 18 seconds.

Not so much elevation on tomorrows stage - and dare I say the breakaway may have more success. But who knows?

A bit early to be burning through the GC riders but that's what it took today. 2 players appreciated Tadej's gift for Isaac del Toro - congrats to Renato C and Andrew Glover for picking todays winner.

Renato and Andrew lead the Stage Winners contest with 1 win each, and Francis Stalpers leads the GC by 8 seconds.

It's a Pyrenean stage tomorrow - although it's not expected to be a GC shoot-out. The burden of carrying yellow this early on in the tour is often avoided by the GC favourites so I suspect there may be a breakaway tomorrow that's given a bit of a long leash. Possibly.
