    Zakarin was 1:04 behind Brambilla at third time check, can't find a time for Jungels there

    Zakarin is lucky there's not a three strikes and you're out rule.

    No I was right originally, 53:51 to keep it, finished in 53:50- Brambilla stays 1st on GC

    Brambilla's done a 53:50, CN saying that should keep him in pink?

    Edit- see above...

    Just slides in the wet. Didn't look too heavy from what I could see (but I also have an eye on the football so could be wrong!)

    Just watching that one again.
    Just as he's coming into that really dodgy corner, a guy puts his hand up, gets Zakarin's attention and down he goes.
    Thanks mate.

    Landa the big winner today. Looks like it's Valverde v. Nibali, with Landa probably the best of the rest for the overall.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Roglic...he gave me all the clues I needed in the prologue, and I still didn't pick him!

    I know...

    I suppose I was making the point that already a lot of the others who may have looked to challenge are already out of it.

    If he wasn't riding for Movistar, I'd agree, but he'll be riding for Valverde.

    Tactically it is very interesting, for obvious reasons.

    surprised no one tried a aluminium clincher on the front today.

    Think I would have been worth the risk for quite a few near the front of the GC

    This race isn't over yet. Chaves, Zakarin and Landa are the best climbers.

    Landa the biggest winner today by a country mile. Zakarin & Uran will be those most disappointed.
