    What a day for Ineos.

    Stage win #7, GC win (so statistically better than the 2012 Tour), and Hamilton won F1 GP #92.

    Holy shit. He’s going to win the Giro.

    Stunning.

    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    39" in the end. Hindley looks destroyed.

    So much for Brad's tribute about how Tao doesn't swear! :lol: or was that the person behind him?

    The emotion in Brad’s voice is genuinely touching.

    Really glad that Hindley got a day in the pink - he deserved that.

    Brailsford wins again and with a team that prob did better than they could have hoped for given the leader had left.

    Ineos with even more selection headaches for next year's GTs.

    Glad I dragged my daughter in to see that.

    Also glad she already knows how to swear like a trooper.

    Insane can't believe it still.

    Only 3 secs slower than wilco ..which I think settles the "did sunweb make the right decision debate" inane now

    Would have probably made Sunweb attack him earlier. It's rather suboptimal how it played out for them with Kelderman and Hindley both being close to victory, but only close - no cigar.

    Merckx junior playing a real part in the new generation. That's a really important team he's got, allowing riders to develop outside the spotlight of the World Tour.

    Read elsewhere:
    And there ends one of the more bizarre races ever.
    The runner up wore the MR for 20 minutes odd and passes it on to the winner who dons it for the first time.

    Cracking Giro with some proper attacking riding sealing the victory. Great to see after the hill sprint nonsense we've been served up for most of the year.
