Sorry. I forget to add... I don't really care about doping. But roglic is not even bothering to look like he is trying. Just not cricket is it

I have no reason to think he's doping. He does look in control though. I doubt this race will be any more suspenseful than the Tour was.

At least he doesn't ride for a tyrannical, murderous sponsor.

Not that I know much about working conditions at Jumbo.

Some locals (I guess?) checked out the Valverde "block of butter"

Hell of a long way down.

I know. That's why I asked.

Roglic doping, second in the GC is Más, he's a good rider but nowhere near. Roglic is the strongest rider now, only Pog can contest him. If anything some others aren't at their best level.

eesh, rog down #commentary

someone stop AndyP buying a Cervelo!

I have no dental qualifications.

missed it. just road rash or potential for it take a little wind out of his sails?

edit: just saw replay, looks like just a bit of skin.

This is the first GT since 2011 that I haven't been bothered with at all. Combination of roster and lack of ITV coverage.

Am I missing out or nah?

One week early this year, good racing since Saturday.

Dunno, I haven't bothered with it either. First week was when I was in Mallorca, killing myself in the heat. Now I've missed the first week the Quest coverage is even less appealing.

It's building up nicely, but the route doesn't seem to be doing the casual fan any favours, too many flat stages where wind was hoped for but didn't happen. The GC stages are too dispersed for my liking.

Roglic looks the strongest, Movistar are nicely poised to challenge with both Mas and Lopez and Ineos are getting their arses kicked.

And Landa?

He's also getting his arse kicked.

Thanks for the updates. Might have to watch Movistar race it then, for the entertainment value of this.

Are Ineos the new Movistar? doing a fair bit of work and still losing time, Roglic even had time for a quick lie down.
Another great ride from Storer.

Ineos even have a trident with Yates as Valverde, lol'ing at working for Bernal (Quintana).

Brian Nygaard has his own winery now. Diurnal Shifts. Not entirely sure about the font on that second word.
