Well, yes,

#AccidentalKelly

Or was it deliberate? Lets just say noone has seen Sean Kelly and Will Melling in the same room at the same time.

Yes, well, it's an interesting one, whooosh as we say in internet terms.

Quentin Pacher must have felt like someone being forced at knifepoint to accompany their mugger to the cashpoint. You never know, maybe we will meet a copper on the way but chances are I'm handing over some money.

I loved Pacher giving it a half-hearted sprint for 20m or so before accepting the inevitable.

This is what's known as a heel turn

repped

Let's check in on how well received Ben O'Connor's complaint about his team members getting yellow carded was.

Blimey. Keep them off social media during competition! At least.

I recall sky blocking the road up alpe duez and they didn't even have anyone up the road.

They were carded for blocking, not the Carapaz crash no? Nobody knows why exactly he went down

Nobody knows why exactly he went down

Ben to lose the red by the end of the weekend for sure

new locket for rog?

What a stage

I was out of breath just watching.

Ha Roglic thinking he lost time to Ben O

He was docked 20 seconds for drafting the team car, so he only gained 20 seconds or so.

I hope O'Connor holds on to a podium spot, he's fought valiantly since he took the jersey.

Castrillo is a beast though, isn't he?

No risk, no glory uh

primed to rot in ineos from next year

According to Daniel Friebe, it's not a done deal and other teams, and Movistar were mentioned, are interested.

What gear were they in on the 24% bits? How fast were they going? They looked like mere mortals. Madness.

Anyway, good to see normality has returned to pro-cycling and Tim Wellens has yet again won the Eneco/BinckBank/Renewi tour.
