Bernal said to Friebe as well that his knee started hurting from riding around his backpain. Brailsford didn’t want to enlighten the public re. Bernal but concentrated on that they have to rebuild and he was right as Froome and Thomas were out of form? Bernal going home and all the best to him with enjoying his millions.

Bernal goes to Arkea, Valverde joins them, we get a 1, 2, 3 Arkea podium, Nacer Bouhanni in Green. Bernal Yellow and white, Nairo 2nd and polka, Valverde 3rd.
Horner won the Vuelta at 41.

might just be able to have the TV on today, which means it'll be a squib

Unlikely. It’s the hardest summit finish of the race, and will end up with the GC contenders going head to head.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Jumbo-Visma let a break go again, to ensure there are no bonus seconds in the line for the GC riders, so we should get two races for the price of one.

It's a tarmac'd 'blue' ski slope... madness. Any rider that's having a bad day will lose minutes.

Quite a lot of that ski slope is the Boulevard de la Loze, which is a logging trail.
Admittedly, the section before that is a bona fidé ski slope.

Yes, I did a fucking Gap Yah ski season in Meribel. The race goes right past my old house "Châlet Shit-Arse" in Mousillon.

Oh boy, ski slope means Ned will mention at least 4000 times that Roglic used to be a ski jumper/ would be used to going the other way/ etc.

In an interview yesterday Roglic admitted to being familiar with the region because he’d go ski jumping in Courchevel nearby, it’ll be worse than you can imagine.

Wonder if there will be barriers on the bike path section - it's very narrow.
