    The gap is 15 seconds. Jonas or Pog will win stage 20, surely.

    Tadej Pogacar isn't going to work with Jonas Vingegaard, he just sits on his wheel.

    The pair are 37 seconds behind Enric Mas and Richard Carapaz who are back together again.

    Evenepoel is caught and then countered by Vingegaard.

    Pogacar is on his wheel and first and second on GC go clear.

    Evenepoel attacks again.

    Up the road Carapaz attacks.

    It's just the top four left now in the group of favourites. Joao Almeida is leading out the podium.

    And they're a minute off the front group.

  7. Postpublished at 6km

    The gap is one minute 10 seconds. I think the front two are spent.

  8. Postpublished at 6.5km

    Evenepoel is marked and the whole GC group comes back together. UAE Team Emirates' Joao Almeida is pacing.

    Remco Evenepoel attacks. Only Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar follow.

  10. Postpublished at 7.3km

    Richard Carapaz attacks off the front. Enric Mas is glued to his wheel.

    One minute 28 seconds. Brutal ride from Mikel Landa.

  12. Postpublished at 8km

    The gap to Carapaz and Mas at the front is one minute 40 seconds.

  13. Postpublished at 8.5km

    The GC group is Landa, then Evenepoel, then Vingegaard, then Pogacar, Almeida and Jorgenson.

    That's it.

  14. Postpublished at 9km

    Wow. Mikel Landa comes to the front of the GC group and immediately carves 20 seconds out of the breakaway's lead.

    Derek Gee, Adam Yates and Giulio Ciccone, they're all dropped.

    The front duo's lead is just two minutes.

    Last big push. The GC group is catching the first lot who fell off from the breakaway.

    Jan Tratnik gives his water bottles to team leader Jonas Vingegaard as he's passed.

    But Carapaz goes again and he and Mas fully drop Bardet who bonks.

  17. Postpublished at 10.9km

    Clutch stuff from Romain Bardet who digs very, very deep to bridge over.

  18. Postpublished at 11km

    Enric Mas attacks and only Richard Carapaz can follow. The two are working together and the elastic snaps. They're clear!

  19. Postpublished at 11.5km

    Still no attacks in the GC group. The gap is two minutes twenty seconds.

  20. Postpublished at 12km

    You can cross Stuyven's name off the list. The one-day specialist drops off.
