    Not seeing the stage start is annoying when there's a fight to get in the break, but let's face it, most Vuelta stages are 100km of dual carriageway followed by a bump or two of varying sizes

    Friday they managed to show it from the start, and that was worth it. It's not difficult to look at the profiles and say "that's an easy break day when it's Euskatel, Burgos and Caja Rural" or "that's one they're all going to fight to be in". Been 4 days so far when the profile looked likely.

    Does he not realise he's almost 20 kms from the finish, not 300m?

    This has confused Movistar, there's no Ineos rider in front for them to chase down and no Ineos rider with them to chase Roglic for them.

    If Roglic had a brain and used it sometimes he would actually win a lot more than he has.

    To sum up Ineos' race van Baarle leads out the sprint from the chasing group only for one or two to pass him.

    Turns out descending a dead straight ski jump ramp doesn't make you a great descender on a bike. Who'd have thought? Some pretty poor lines being chosen by Roglic in the group. Still taking over 30" more from Bernal though.

    Decent day's work for Rog, apart from the dodgy descending.
    Palms off the red jersey for a few days and puts another half a minute into Bernal and Yates.
