  • Just going back to Quintana's interview technique, did anyone else notice how after one stage (Oropa?) where Windmills performed much better than expected, Quintana repeatedly referred to him as the leader (el lider) and didn't mention him by name?

    Just seemed a bit weird. Like he hadn't bothered to learn his name.

  • Just out of respect I'd have thought.

  • Try to say 'Tom Dumoulin' with a Spanish, or even better, Colombian accent and even well practised it would sound more like Thhhommm 'hooomooolin. It's a mouthful.

    Ditto the 'we' or 'us' thing-I'd put it down to linguistic convention rather than Nairo being an egotistical cunt but I @croft seems far better placed to be deciding on peloton etiquette and individual motivations (even when the riders thenselves admit it was their fault) so I'll leave it to him to keep you right.

  • Mind games/superstition
