GC after that amazing day yesterday.
1. ARU F. AST 83h 01' 40''
2. RODRIGUEZ OLIVER J. KAT 01' 17''
3. MAJKA R. TCS 01' 29''
4. QUINTANA ROJAS N. MOV 02' 02''
5. CHAVES RUBIO J. OGE 03' 30''
6. DUMOULIN T. TGA 03' 46''
7. VALVERDE BELMONTE A. MOV 07' 10''
Today is the shortest road stage - and gonna be a procession; I always want a last day with seconds in it to see if well organised attack can just for once cause a huge upset - but Astana's clinical and brilliant team riding, Aru's pugnacious attacks, and TGA's lack of support to TomD put paid to that idea.
It's flatter than an before apart from the silly TTT as well
There is only two points in it between the two old spanish vets in the green jersey points competition - a charge for the sprint for Alejandro?
1. RODRIGUEZ OLIVER J. KAT 116 pts
2. VALVERDE BELMONTE A. MOV 114 pts
3. CHAVES RUBIO J. OGE 108 pts

And apologies for the inexcusable interruption of the service yesterday - but riding on what might be the last nice weekend of the year seemed like a priority.0

I just cannot warm to Fabio, but maybe I'm in the minority!

No helicopter coverage. Static cameras only.
A bit of worry at the airport.

Yes! Valverde won the intermediate sprint, gets four points and takes the green jersey off JRod's back.
Got to agree with that.
I've never understood the love for JRod ... He wins the uphill sprints that Valverde has worked too hard on the stage to win.Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it.0 -
The Europsport presenters might've laid off the Cava for an hour or so more ... Jesus, leery or what!?Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it.0

Valverde has enough points to win the WT Title once again. He is on 615 points to Joaquim's 474. Lombardia left which is 100 points for the win. Congratulations.
Chaves first ever top ten GT finish for Orica. With basically no mountain donestiques. Congratulations.Contador is the Greatest0 -
Great win.Contador is the Greatest0
