    "Remco isn't sick, he's just rubbish in the mountains" is an interesting bus to hurl him under

    Kirby: The Western side faces East and the Eastern side faces West.
    McEwen: Err the Western side faces West, Carlton. :D

    That was painful. He still didn't accept it.

    Surely "Remco didn't have any sickness we are aware of" is as much as they can actually say with confidence.

    Of course, "so please don't tap him up" might be the unvoiced bit here...

    Maybe he meant you ascend in an easterly direction on the western side.

    Or he is confusing mountains with valleys. The west side of a mountain faces west. The west side of a valley faces east.
    Not sure why I’m making excuses for him tho’.

    Clearly he could ride away from everyone too.
    Feel sorry for him.

    Not so sure, either he's waiting or he's slow; pulling the neutral cars out of the gap.

    Edit: sorry, you mean Kuss.

    Mas doing better than I expected here. Really impressive to close Kuss down again.

    The other riders are mentally destroyed by how easily they are being marked out. Stage 1.2,3 before eventually going on to an all JV podium?

    Vingegaard will "accidentally find himself in the lead of the race, by this time tomorrow.

    Kirby goes into meltdown mode as Kuss flies again.

    Kuss takes second, Roglic must have attacked late and nearly got to him in third and they both pulled back 30” in the final km.

    What a great annihilation race this is going to be.

    Time to question what that plaster on Kuss’s cheek is hiding :wink:

    Can see why Remco didn’t want to be around to see that.

    Amateur hour from JV there - sticking a man up the road for Kuss to bridge across to and he promptly forgets to wait...
