There is a good mechanic at the market here tomorrow. Cheap too. I'll wheel it down to him.

But it probably needs a rewrap.

Gah.

+1 on the re-wrap and be done with it.

My fucking internet's slowed to 56kb/s speeds. No Giro for me then.

Fuuuuuccccckkkkkk

Create hotspot from ur cell?

Hope no-one has been making Tom descend like an old lady again

This is my giro soundtrack:

Germany? Decent 3/4g coverage? Herr Theukr, das ist ein Witz.

& of course Polygon Window Audax Powder

Movistar and Sunweb to try attacks soon, pink jersey and also white jersey + podium on the line!

Here we go...

Oof this is good

POP!

I think that's it for Dumoulin.

Froome is a hard bastard isn’t he?

Tom’s going backwards

Sure is!

Much tense. Very knife edge.

Dumoulin back. I spoke too soon!

Nieve looked like he was a bit tired “but hey it was only a Saturday ride”.

I rewrapped the bar. Managed to reuse the fabric hex tape so no real bother.

Great stage.

Well done Chris.

Mitchelton Scott can’t be too gutted about losing the pink jersey, they still wee’d all over most other teams. Great finish to a grandtour, to get another stage.

Always pleased to see Nieve win, always works hard for the team but takes his chances when he gets them.

He is one of the best GT Riders ever I think. Especially now, all three held at once.

Well that was good. Nice that Froome and Poels waited up for Dumoulin.

If I have one criticism, it is that the two decisive moves, Dumoulin’s final attack and Froome decisive counter attack, took place in a tunnel. Not ideal television.

all three held at once.

That's never been done before, right? Closest was Contador.
