Are Tao confirmed as fastest up the climb and gets KOM jersey after a timing error.

Anyone got a link for the KOM split?

We could be witnessing a changing of the guard in the Vuelta Feminina right now.

Fingers crossed for a few stages then. Hope that cheers him up.

Cav is obsessed with Mads. Always trying to chat to him in the bunch. Mads doesn’t seem too bothered.

i've done the math and I reckon Vollering has done it.

That was intense

I don't think she has. Vollering was 1'11 back at the start of the day. She won by 56 seconds, plus 10 seconds bonus, but Van Vleuten got 4 seconds bonus.

9 seconds to Van Vleuten I think.

I was never good at maths. would have been good of the commentators to let us non good math people how much of a gap DV needed, Marty McCrossan is particularly bad at not talking about specifics

digging the outfit maybe

Who was the DSM guy looking over his shoulder that caused it?

It was Martjin Tusveld and he snapped his bike in half

Last I heard was that Kaden Groves pushed another rider with his elbow, which caused a wobble and the domino effect.

In all the excitement of yesterday, Tro Bro Leon served up another belting bike race. My cousin lives in the area so I'm seriously considering heading over for it next year. There's a sportive of it the day before as well, apparently.

Groves quite clearly pushed Davide Ballerini, which caused the ripple effect that directly led to the crash:
