    Bernal, RE, Ciccone and Martin the strongest of the GC Group

    Dan Martin, Evenepoel, Bernal, Cicone are a foursome just ahead of a smaller group behind.

    Mader 600m to go.

    Why's no one working with Bernal, seems wasteful?

    Suspect Bernal will get jumped by the others before the line as he's doing all the work into the wind.

    Yeah Evenepoel refused to come through a few times. They're all just following Bernal

    Mader with barely enough energy to celebrate.

    Bernal then Martin then Evenepoel behind.

    Bernal's delivered in great fashion there.

    Well earned win that for Mader with excellent support from Mohoric.

    Bernal keeps proving me wrong!

    Some tired looking bodies crossing the line ther. Yates looked knackered.

    On a day like that, I think cycling is the real winner.

    Surely Carthy is worthy of a place amongst the favourites?

    Sure, but I felt that of those GC boys seemingly going well, he didn't have quite the same kick.
    I could also add Ciccione to the list and now that Landa is out, a decent bet for the break, who can climb, Gino Mäder.

    I would still most likely not have picked today's winner!
    Turns out I was right, so wrong again.

    Looking back at the car incident, it was lucky he got knocked so far forward or he could have ended up under the wheels.

    Remco is a bit scary

    Going to throw the driver and car off the race I suspect .

    Dan Lloyd speculating that Bennett has lost too much weight in the run up to the Giro
