    I really liked the John "gladiators ready" Anderson tribute kit.

    And that win was very funny.
    An admittedly weak claim to fame, but my dad was at school with John Anderson 😁

    No one can live with this pair. Even Bernal at his best would struggle to go with them

    Good stage, that. Very controlled of Vingegaard at the end. Wonder when Pogacar will notice the tow rope on his Bike?

    What a ride by Bling. So good I'll actually call him Bling! Similar to WvA on stage 4 - the sprints aren't working so I'll try something else.

    Nice that the group were so far back we got to see it twice...

    Thought Matthews was dead and buried when Bettiol went past him. Took a moment, a couple of deep breaths and then blew past in return. Cracking ride.
