    The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

    He decided he had better things to do than pander the the cycling MSM.

    Hugh's riding style makes him look like he is on the wrong sized bike

    Trying to remember if I drove a minibus up here once,

    It basically becomes a goat track up to a rifugio on the Tour de Gran Paradiso. Was quite an experience...

    I thought he was going to die earlier when trying to ride at the front.

    Either that or his sunnies/helmet combo were eating his head.

    False flat climbs are the pits for stage finales.

    Fair play to Guillaume Martin. What looked like a bonkers attack might actually gain him a minute or so,

    Active stage for the win. Got the feeling a GC opportunity was missed but easier said than done

    The last climb, while long, was only about 5%. It would have taken a lot of resources to try to fashion an opportunity. After yesterday the top riders were satisfied to take their gains to the rest day. It was only really an opportunity for the Martin types who were mostly off the radar.

    To no real surprise everyone made the time cut (+49:59) without issue. Cav et al coming in 38:31 behind

    They needed to go the first climb
