Pro-cycling thread

Valgren was asked on US TV why Aru was not further up the field in the final. He told the interviewer: “Ask him”.

He said Aru was on his wheel but didn’t stay there and was non-communicative. There was little he could do for Aru in those circumstances, he said.

Valgren then asked the interview: “Did we lose the (yellow) jersey or what?”

And when he was told Froome now had it, he said: “Ah, good,” with a broad grin.
