    LOL.
    Right on the line.
    Gaudu pulled WVA's pants down.
    After his early celebration, the greatest rider of his generation looked extremely embarrassed with that defeat.

    WVA waiting for Gaudu. 🤣
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    I think Roglic got confused and went to attack at 1.2km to go, presumably thought it was 200m to go.

    The words "amateur night" always come to mind.

    The greatest riders of his generation aren't at the Criterium.

    Came through like a train - you can see why WVA wasn't aware of the danger. Gaudu trying very hard - and failing - to keep a straight face in the interview...

    It wasn't the celebration that lost it - but it does make for a great photo.

    Was Wout wearing something under his jersey today or has he been fighting everyone for the pies? He was looking seriously tubby.

    Still not as tubby as Groenewegen though.

    He was really embarrassed in his interview.
    At least there weren't any roundabouts at the finish today!

    More imbecilic comments from CK, Smith saying riders use the white lines as a guide to direction when riding head down. CK suggesting they ride on the white lines as they have less rolling resistance.

    Roglic a fraction of a second faster than Ganna at 1st check point.

    Not that I am watching. I can’t stomach a long, flat ITT with Kirby’s constant stream of drivel.

    A sad state of affairs when the person who should be enhancing one’s enjoyment, actively causes one to switch off.

    Not watching, but is he proclaiming each rider on the start ramp as 'a potential winner' or 'could do something here'?

    11 seconds slower at T2. Roglic went the same way. Different pacing strategy for Ineos and Jumbo

    Roglič slower than Cattaneo at the finish.
    Jumbo keytones ain't what they used to be.

    When did Hayter lose so much time, was that yesterday? I thought he might be looking for a high GC finish. Who are Ineos using as their leader, TGH or just not bothering with GC this year?

    Actually, the gaps aren't so big once you take WVA out of the equation.

    Hayter said he lost his visor early in the TT and so had problems with wind etc on his contacts. Must have slowed him down a bit.

    Tubby Groenewegen not going to be sprinting again today
