Brilliant work from Bora, but really not sure I will ever warm to Sagan and enjoy seeing him win 🤷‍♂️

You can see why he’s been so successful at the green jerseys.

This was even better

The Eurosport ban on socks is tough on everybody

Don't leave me!

Flipping heck. Is that tonight? Can’t wait.

Not sure how Blythey can shift between styles like that in good conscience.

Not sure how that "defies the laws of physics" but it's not a typical crash, that's for sure.

I had one kid fail to stop last week and end up sitting on the back wheel of the kid in front of him but that was even better.

Nah mate it was a few nights back, meant to post it but forgot

Ah, relieved to think we may finish the Giro with an archive.

Adverts covering half the screen make that site horrendous on a mobile.

Impressive balance there though.

Finally figured out the look Wiggins must be going for.

Hot take; Davide Bramati is keeping 2019 San Sebastian Remco strictly under orders to wait til week 3 before going mental.

Need to get through stage 14 and 16 first though!

A monster effort to gain 1-2 minutes in a day could destroy you for the next day. Evenepoel does seem like the most likely candidate to be able to pull of a Froome Finestre 80km attack.

I expect DQS would balls up the nutrition for it though.

Only just caught up on yesterday and Bernal - mad strong. I also love his physical style - seems more hunched over than other riders, elbows out weaving side to side. Really giving it some thrashing away. Also in his interview, the way he spoke about his team telling him to go for it and taking it up on the front for him because they believed in him was very nice. They continually seem to have a really good team spirit which is at odds with how I want to believe they are.

They're reprogrammed on the Death Star every night, Sunday was NiceBuddy#3. They are not machines, apart from Ganna who is made of liquid metal with hologrammed human skin.

They're probably really nice human beings, except maybe Moscon.

Agree. His attack reminded me of MVDP at Strade - one of those rare ones that is so ferocious it seems a spoke, or even a stay might suddenly snap.

Also really enjoyed the points sprint yesterday . Especially Ganna’s freak pull.

In the big ring on that climb too. Impressive.

Did lol

If you were wondering where everybody stays at their training camps in Sierra Nevada like Quickstep, its the Spanish governments high altitude training centre at 2300m elevation, an hours drive from Granada airport where you can get full board catering for €75 or so a night.

This makes a lot more sense than the Sierra Nevada I was thinking of..

Quickstep has extended for another 6 years as sponsor

Now they will concentrate on Cavendish winning another Tour stage.

Ethan didn't fall off in Spain.
