Bugno - 379
Millar - 96

He was involved in a big crash, his team mechanic didn't realise he was down and sorted a team mate first. He bridged back solo around two mins I think, then chilled for a bit then dropped everyone.

Prob ideal result really. Millar has raised awareness (put the cat amongst the pigeons) and change will come, but he doesn't actually have to do what is probably a really tough, bureaucratic job.

Unless I missed something, Millar only decided he wanted to stand quite recently. It all seemed half baked.

I think the riders deserve someone more intelligent.

Bernie Eisel would be good I think once retired? Well liked and seems sensible.

Also they voted for electronic voting, and they voted against, no surprises there.

Whut?

Paolini.

Lol.

Vote Bouhanni!

Or Cavendish. That'd be fucking excellent, I’d pay to watch him sit on an UCI committee.

That wasn’t clear... there was a motion to adopt electronic voting, and they voted against it.

If Evenepoel goes straight to the pros, surely he will never wear either of the rainbow bands in competition?

Correct

Cycling is littered with juniors who never made it so we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves

Eddy Mercx - "Hold my beer, He might be better than me "

Hehe, I'm not sure he realizes that...

Most of it I pretended to get but actual lol at the end

Crikey. Women's race seems to have ended. Noone chasing.

Hang on. No sound.
She's catching the front group.

Bof.
That was quite the solo.

Great race! Happy for van der Breggen, she was visibly upset with silver medals after TTT and ITT, this win is totally deserved!

3'42" lead after 40km solo, phew. cannibalistic.

Tomorrow? Yates, Alaphilippe, Valverde.

I saw that alaphillipe video on Instagram.
