    I'd be amazed if Almeida can keep this pace until the end.

    Is G stuck in one gear?
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    GC finally comes to life!
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    In that the GC leader (minus the interloper borrowing the jersey) took even more time? ;)

    Yeah yeah I know I know.

    I think Thomas was the favourite going into today, not least after his Tour last year, and that was proven today.

    Pretty sure Roglic was the favourite - though I've been singing from the Thomas Tour '22 form songbook

    Roglic was favourite? Yikes.

    I don't get the hype, I have to say.
