188km to go: We have a breakaway, at last. Sandy Dujardin, Mateo Vercher (TotalEnergies), Frank Van Den Broek (DSM-Firmenich PostNL), Clement Champoussin (Arkea-B&B), Ion Izagirre (Cofidis), Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ), and Matej Mohoric (Bahrain Victorious). Uno-X Mobility have missed this and are desperately chasing but to little avail so far.

192km to go: We have another group try to go away, Warren Barguil and Simon Geschke have been busy in the early stages but they are surely way too talented to be allowed in the breakaway.
