Frustrating coverage at the end - almost every time riders were about to cross the line they cut away to something else.

Ben King certainly buried himself.

Kind of sums up the totally naff GC action* behind the exciting King - Mollema stage duel.

And folks moan that Sky are killing GT mountain stages.

*Possibly related to the fierce headwind in the finale?

Though Yates said it wasn’t as bad as expected and less than last time they climbed it. It did look fierce from the flags

I am hoping we get to see some really interesting chaos now that Sky are faltering in the GC.

Although so far it looks like TLJ are taking up the challenge of riding on the front at an unattackable wattage.
