The last two stages have been decided by breaks, with Astana winning on both occasions. Behind the stage honours lies the delicate battle for the GC with Team Sky's Geraint Thomas and Chris Froome sitting ahead of Sunweb's Tom Dumoulin.
In the latest Cyclingnews podcast we hear from both Team Sky riders on the environment they've faced at the race, with pockets of fans booing the yellow jersey and his team.
We also hear from Tom Southam about how EF Education First-Drapac are hoping to bounce back from losing Rigoberto Uran – their hope for the overall standings.
And we hear from former footballer Frank de Boer, who is at the race for Dutch television. De Boer talks about the Ajax philosophy, entertaining football, and whether the same ethos could be applied to cycling.
Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
