    Great stage, that. Happy for Gesink. Where's Valverde?
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Maybe, but if Yates had been 15 sec closer at the end and nairo made the gaps a bit bigger ......

    Lovely scenery

    Just before the big acceleration of the GC group, the Vuelta app showed Valverde a minute in arrears

    great race , but terrible footage . the GC riders were coming into the last 2 k and we are shown a shot of an empty finish line . I know it`s difficult when the race is shot to pieces but that was cr@p. no idea what was happening.

    Lost loads of time. Yates up to 4th, 16 seconds behind Chaves.

    Chaves not totally happy with how things panned out, but maybe he hasn't found out about Valverde yet.

    Back from my ride just in time to catch the last 10km of this..

    So pleased for Gesink! He really deserves this... chapeau

    And good ride from Yates too.

    Wish one of Quintana's attacks would stick... I live in hope. .

    Little bit sorry for Valverde, I know he's not everyone's favourite but he's a great racer and I really admire him taking on all 3 Grand Tours.

    Forgot how entertaining Flecha is at the end of the stage. Not much value to add in terms on insight into the race but really excited to be there and be part of it!

    I agree. I hope somehow he gets to complete the hat-trick of top tens.
