    Ferron broke away at 1km to go and totally mugged the rest of the break

    ...just in case anyone wanted to know who won....

    Thanks - it is a spoiler thread after all

    Watching it now. Edit - On the Player.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Been a lot of breakaway squabbles this race...

    (Mind you, I had a minor sense of humour failure up here too when I did it...)

    Typical f'ckin sneaky Movistar wheel sucking win for Verona

    Really wanted Roglic to mug him there...

    Nice finish but my God, Kirby.
    Hayter just finishing and winning the battle of the sprinting duo.
    Van Aert a long way down.

    Huh? I'm no Movistar fan, but they played their numerical superiority beautifully. Elissonde totally lost his head there.

    I think Verona is a very deserving winner. You can see from the reaction of the other riders that he is hugely respected in the peloton for all the work he does for his team, and that his win is a very popular one.

    Jumbo DS: Primoz, if you want the stage you'll a have to attack with 2km
    PR: 2km!! Who do you think I am? Pantani? I'll do 500m
    DS: The last 1km is downhill . How about 1.5km
    PR: Let's call it 1.4

    CyclingNews shamefully stereotyping gingers. Lots of riders were 'cooked'. Why focus on the gingers? Verona is a little bit ginger, he won. #hatecrime #cancelcyclingnews #glm

    Tao did say in his interview on ITV4 that the heat was a problem for him today.
    But I'm not ginger and I am hopeless with sun and heat.

    It's been hot and rather preordained . Good to see jumbo are competitive for the tour

    Vingegard attacks, Roglic chases him down then sits on. Before SK peeled off JV had 3 of the 4 in the front group.

    I reckon Roglic is the kind of person who'll let his team mate win but make sure everyone knows he's let him win.

    I think he's always struggled when it's this hot. He should still finish top ten on GC, unless he blows completely.

    O Conner goes well in all weathers . Hope he is a factor in the tour
