    To justify the inclusion of the word spoiler in the title and to save anyone having to look up the result somewhere else Groves won the sprint from the break from Ganna and Denz.

    You omit to mention the peloton caught the back of the break with about 350m to go.
    I didn’t watch it, that’s the sort of thing I was expecting to read on here.

    GTs with American winners are always shit. Discuss.

    At least one of them is widely regarded as one of the greatest GTs of all time, while a second was only decided by 8" on the last day. I'd say that's a decent return on 6 GT wins.

    Time has been generous to Lemond. He was a defensive rider, who didn't take risks.

    I was always a Fignon fan anyway, but those two Tours were pretty special

    The yellow jersey went Lemond -> Fignon -> Lemond -> Fignon -> Lemond. Even with a bit of time and rose tinted glasses, I don't see how that could ever have beed dull.

    The new Zubeldia. He did something similar at the Tour before being knocked off by a spectator and abandoning
