I like sport and I like talking about is almost as much. If I say something silly or make a poor joke, just nod and smile, it isn't the first time and it won't be the last. You can follow more of my sporadic ramblings by following @sir_samuel on Twitter.

The pure Kzack power has been caught by Attapuma and an immediate attack!

2017 Tour De France: Stage 18 live race updates, blog

Sergio Heanao, one of Froome’s support riders has cracked. Is this working for AG2R?

2017 Tour De France: Stage 18 live race updates, blog

7km to go at the front, getting to the steeper slopes.

The gap from Lutsenko at the front to the peloton is only 2.45

AG2R are still pushing the pace at the front.

Attapuma has quickly decreased the gap to Lutsenko to only 20 seconds.

The Columbian smells a stage win on Columbian Independance Day.

And he’s back.

2017 Tour De France: Stage 18 live race updates, blog

Folks SBS whio has been working hard through the mountains all Tour and hasn’t missed a move to this point has just cracked.

Now the Terminator has 45 seconds on the mountain goats.

AG2R are trying to do a Sky but are unable to break any of the Sky super domestiques.

Bardet will wait until the half way point and attack.

As well as riding to try and get the yellow jersey they are riding to try and help BArdet get outright 2nd.

Uran is traditionally a better time trialist than Badet and they are level on 27 seconds.

THIS IS ALL SO CLOSE!

10km to go for Lutsenko. He is grinding away at this.

Channelling the spirit of his compatriot Kiryenka and just pushing a constant pace.
