    Roglic, TGH and Geraint have a gap.
    Remco struggled big time towards the top.

    Great win by Healy - stunning attack on the Cappucinni, then 50km solo

    14" loss for Remco
    Not a huge amount, but under pressure on a fairly short (but steep) climb he couldn't hold the wheel. That's going to play in his mind

    If G can stay upright he could be a real threat in week 3. Surely he must have come in a bit undercooked compared to the others.
