    What an incredible flipping race.
    Just like last year, with the same outcome.
    Chapeau Contador for making it what it was.

    Basically the same as last year but with a different Sky rider (and Izagirre in the Gallopin role). I wonder what gearing Henao & Contador had this time

    Awesome! And chapeau to my man Bertie for reminding us how good he can be

    Bertie looks haunted. And old. He's younger than me.

    Chapeau to Contador. Amazing attack. Hopefully he can light it up like that for the rest of the year.

    That's quite the time gap between 9th and 10th on GC.

    He did. I am sad for Bert but happy for Henao. This is why cycling is amazing.

    Bahrain are this year's Tony Gallopin.
    Already getting a load of grief for going after those pesky WT points which you don't get for 4th place. :lol:

    Just seen Contador's attack from 50km out. Not sure Henao should have followed that, but given that Contador hasn't made an attack stick for more than five minutes recently I can see why he did.

    Oof.

    Stages like this (short) work because they're knackered from the mtf the day before.
