Crash with red jersey going over a wall and they attacked

Gits. Just got it on now. Tony Martin out too.

Trentin's gestures after today's ToB finish say it all

Trentin did ok, he was first human to finish

Love the thumbs up, the shrug, and then the big back slap.
Such brilliant human responses.

"It was a lack of respect for the red jersey, it's not the first time. They always take advantage of these moments. They're always stupid. They are the same fools who do these things. It’s their usual reaction. Let's see if they win a day by attacking a race by attacking head-on"

He also slagged off Valverde, along the lines of “what a world champion we have, who behaves like this.”

Powless to EF. Has he seen what’s happening at his current team? Why the fuck would you leave that for EF?!

MvDP will win the worlds.

The bookies agree. Longest odds are 7/2.

Never underestimate the power of a bucket hat

After a disappointing start due to being ill, @taogeogheganhart has had a storming second half to the Vuelta.

Slightly anxious Pogacar is clearly riding electric Campy in the rain

He really has. Such a promising rider.

hope pogacar can hold on so valverde loses 2nd

Pogacar's looking very strong still after 3 weeks, we'll see him among the top riders in another GT soon

I’m pegging my post-Contador obsession on him, so here’s hoping.

incredible ride from a youngster.

Shame Mauro Gianetti was there at the finish to greet him.

Sam Bennett sneaky e/w for the World's perhaps. Looks great at the moment, and he's pretty much riding without a team in Spain.

Great ride for Knox and for Quickstep for getting him over the line.

Someone nicked his Garmin while he was up there too!

Marianne Vos. Won a stage race in Norway by winning all 3 stages in August. Now, in the Tour of the Ardèche, she matches that hattrick. Incredible. 4 stages to go still though.
