We'll wait to see who comes through the clouds.

Geraint Thomas is kicking on.

Is this the day that Geraint Thomas takes an iron grip on the 105th Tour de France?

Geraint Thomas finishes the state third.

Is this the point?

He takes a grip on the yellow jersey that he will not relinquish.

The Tour de France 2018 on BBC Radio 5 Live, 5 Live Sports Extra and the BBC Sport website.

Heavy rain falling out on this little Pyrenean town of St. Larry Sue-Land.

But it was sunshine all the way for Geraint Thomas earlier on, on the

mountain above us in the distance. The Cold Du Porte, a horrible climb, arguably the hardest

that this Tour de France this year has seen, tougher than Alp Duets, tougher than Montvante

Vontu. And Geraint Thomas, Garith Reiss-one, has proved himself tougher than everyone else in this

race. Yes, on the call to porté. The attacks came early from Nairo Quintana. Team Sky allowed him

to go up the road, not too much of a threat in terms of the general classification. And then

they kept nibbling away at him Rogg Litch first Krausvik

Tom de Milan and Geraint Thomas just kept his tempo stayed solid and we were wondering

was Thomas gonna crack a team Skyrider did struggle did drop back but it wasn't

Gehrine Thomas it was Chris Frum.

Chris Frum lost three quarters of a minute on his rivals and Thomas just to highlight,

just to underline how strong he is, even pinched a few seconds of Roglitch and Dumalan at the end.

Kintana won the stage, but Geraint Thomas has won the day yet, see? I think we're pinching a few seconds as well. We're in the car, regular listeners to bespoke will know that we often have to record the show in a car escaping from the host town, the stage finish. Thousands of people trying to get away. Rob Hales, how are we getting on today?

How the directions? Do you know where you're going?
