Viviani's face as he loses to Van Aert; priceless...
Elia Viviani likes to win and is emotional no matter what the outcome. Last year when he was beaten by Peter Sagan at the finish of Gent Wevelgem he sat the on the pavement crying. And today at the end of stage 10 of the Tour de France he looked on in a mix of disgust and incredulity when Wout van Aert beat him for the stage win, as this first clip shows. There were very different emotions on the Jumbo-Visma team bus, as the second clip shows. And we've included the gallop from above just for the heck of it.
Landa crashes after nudge
Mikel Landa was reported to have lost his place in the front group today after a puncture but it soon emerged he crashed. This video shows how he went off the road and hit a group of fans. He was nudged by an AG2R rider as he struggled to stay upright after clipping the back wheel of yellow jersey Julian Alaphilippe. And that accidental nudge caused Landa to suffer this costly crash. Romain Bardet took to Twitter to point out he was not the rider who nudged Landa after it was reported that it was him.

Too cool not to share...
We don't know what they're saying, aside from knowing they're explaining how the breeze dictates the formation a group takes. And we know this is a few days old too, but we hadn't seen it before and it's too cool not to share; Danish broadcaster using augmented reality to explain Tour tactics.
