A host of other riders have joined them in the move, including Sepp Kuss, Jack Haig, Pello Bilbao, and Mikel Landa.

Bouwman is in the polka dot jersey as KOM leader, of course.

The riders are just rolling out to start the stage now.

Other major climbs on today’s stage include the Collada de Beixalis (6.5km at 8.5%), the Col de Ordino (9.9km at 7%), and the La Comella (3.9km at 5.9%)

Three first-category climbs and over 2,800 metres of elevation are on the menu today. The climbing starts right from the off with the Port de Envalira – a 23.3km climb at a 5.1% average gradient.
