    Movistar save Carapaz's bacon.

    Porte puncture. Mr Unlucky undone again.

    Discs are crap.

    So that's Carapaz taking the TT easy until the climb then going flat out to take the mountain points?

    Porte punctures on discs so no service. It took a while but his luck has returned.

    I'm going to put this in the unpopular opinions category but this is why I hate gravel and cobbles in a GT.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    But not his intelligence.
    Dropping Kuss not the smartest idea.
    Lucky the others were just as dumb.

    It's because a few proper climbers are now going for it which doesn't happen often enough.

    Landa going to lose a place while Bilbao is still hanging around up the road.
    Weird tactic.

    I swear I just saw Mas trying to get Kuss to work with him to attack when they both popped off the front...

    Surely they give this to Kwiat for all the hard Tour work he's done?
