Well that was brilliant. Had a nice ride with a mate, then this. The women's was great (what I could watch) - aggressive and attacking. And the men's was too. Not sad to see Simmons taken out by a couple incidents.
Van der Poel's sprint up the last climb was shocking. Dan Lloyd mentioned one point where it looked like he as going back was likely just a position correction, so I don't know weak he really looked earlier on. Funny him saying at the end that Alaphilippe had told him he wasn't feeling great earlier, and nice he said he believed him because he usually takes his turns. I liked his celebration, seemed very joyful.
Really glad to see Bernal going so strong (also on Mt Ventoux) after his back/ leg length stuff last year. I also wondered why he didn't go early on the climb to try and win before realising he's hardly soft pedalling and he's likely aware of van Aert trying to get back on.
