    Ah, Uran got it on the photo. Certainly didn't look it in real time.

    Barguil was in tears thinking he'd won, now he'll be in tears again...

    Uran by 2cm.

    A cm for each Uran in his name.

    Balls. Would have loved my man Uran to get that.

    Barguil has now won it, lost it, won it, and lost it again.

    Barguil in bits, phenomenal effort especially after almost losing the wheel on the run in

    To be fair I think I'd find it hard to ride for Aru.

    If LRP & G & others (too many out due to crashes) weren't in back of ambulance I would have said that was as perfect a weekend of racing as imaginable

    Fuglsang went so early that he had time to really wind it up in the wheel, horrendous sprint to watch from a flatland riders perspective

    Beaten by some git on a singlespeed. I think every single one of us who commutes by bike knows the feeling...

    Would like to see a proper photo/vid of that. Looked like Barguil got it in real time.

    I need a lie down after that.

    As a weekend of bike racing goes, that was incredible, Had it all, good and bad.

    So worth watching the highlights then?

    I've watched it all (aside from first 30km yesterday) lying down. Not sure what to do now

    Dan Martin was very unlucky today. He would have had a great chance in that sprint.
