    Probably not yet. The race only finished about 15 minutes ago.

    There's the last hour and a half of it here (but it's bad quality so you may be better off waiting)

    I had no idea what was going on for most of it.

    I was laughing at dayer q for celebrating finishing second in the stage. And I assume TGH came out the crowd you help bernal.

    Yes. And almost getting hit by the camera bike for his troubles.

    Watched it live, enjoyed the last 5km or so but had no clue what was going on...

    Glad to see that none of us had a clue what was happening in those final kms.
    The great crowds did a splendid job of adding to the confusion.

    The usual 50 minutes progamme is now available, if anyone fancies watching M Moser turning the clock back a few years, in Trofeo Laigueglia, today.

    Oro Y Paz won't be a S*** Small Race for long. A real festival of Colombian cycling. Manic racing and huge, entusiastic crowds. Maybe a few of the European pros will be tempted to visit next year as an alternative to the usual Middle East races. Somebody has to challenge Oscar Sevilla for the title of "first European home"! :)

    Coquard takes stage one in Oman. In other news, Cav is finished.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    It’s not a spoiler thread and doubt there’s much appetite for one, so won’t mention who he might be setting up for... 2km to go.

    Why not? Look at all the other results in this thread. Plus it's not on UK tv.

    Sky get two wins in one day.
    Little Flower notches up number two after Poels zipped to the first.
    Geraint Thomas takes the leader's jersey on accumulative wotnots.

    Chalk another win up to Sky.
    Geraint Thomas takes the ITT in Algarve.
    He now has a good lead in the GC.

    Some impressive TT scalps there for Thomas - he looked very powerful.
    If Froome can keep his sh!t together today, and Poels can drop Sanchez, there could be a Sky one-two for the GC in both Andalucia and Algarve...

    That stage showed how strong Bernal is. Worked for Henao and led him out for the sprint and still came ahead!

    Well done to Adam Blythe for getting more publicity from his dodgy bike change from his bike that would have got him 7th place to a bike that would have got him 6th.

    In what context, is there a youtube clip? Interested to see how their whole single ring experiment is likely to play out
