Almeida and Yates plotting, curiouser and curiouser

That looked awfully like a Super Tuck from Bilbao.

Exactly what I came here to post. Arse possibly just on the nose of the saddle?

Think he'll only get fined in a stage race. Rules are different between one day races and stage races.

It was, but I'm pretty sure someone got penalised in the Tour de Romandie for sitting in front of the saddle adopting the alien probe technique.

Castroviejo not looking too pleased about Martinez being dropped on descents...
You'd think that INEOS would have realised that might be an issue in training but I guess not.

big shift from bilbao this

amazing ride from him today. pat on the back well earned

And the curse of the comments strikes.

Caruso looking strong

Jawowowowmeida not looking so strong.

martinez looks to be motoring

never count out jawowow - lad's got spirit

Tense!!

Martinez will be in the watch thread later picking out a Rolex for Bernal to buy him

This is a monster effort from Martinez.

reports of bernal's demise seem to have been grossly exaggerated

Yates going out the back.

Rocking and rolling

some ride from almeida here too tbf

Odds on Bernal for the stage? Martinez to last mile and a big dig to catch Caruso...

Caruso deserves this.

Isn’t he a convicted doper? And a proper one, not like Yates.

Yeah he does. Finally gets a stage after SO many years.

He got banned, which was back-dated, for complicity in attempting to obtain doping products.
