    Mas has 56 secs on the jersey group over the top by my stopwatch

    That was so close to a race ending crash and possibly a lengthy stay in hospital

    Shame

    Yeah he’d somehow saved the head first plant into the ground already by then though.

    Time gaps to Carapaz are dubious. Mas still showing having 50” over the Roglic group

    Mas showing a pair

    Mas has passed Vine, so that brown shorts moment hasn’t dented his confidence.

    That’s a great stage win. Two good long range wins in the first week.

    One of the best rides for second too.

    Got to feel for Mas, finally puts in a really strong attack for nothing. Giving it another go in the final km to no avail.

    Jersey group lose only around 3:50 in the end. Roglic fails to sprint for the final bonus seconds that suggests he was struggling

    The flat run in spoiled the stage imo.

    Roglic looked pretty nailed

    Great ride from O'Connor to limit damage, then sprints for third and bonus seconds. Chapeau

    Yates gets fuck and shit in to his interview

    I heard that too but more likely "If ah can..." 😉

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Kuss just can’t handle the team leader roll, can he?

    He’s out of the top 10 and probably looking to pull off a “Guillaume Martin”.

    The cat killer really got mauled today. He is still to finish.

    Do Tena really think that Vuelta viewers are going to fit the profile for their target market for their piss pants?

    To be fair it's hard to think of a activity that blends well with their brand ....

    Would have thought an ad during Loose Women would represent far better VFM for them.

    According to commentary a bus for the riders was leaving to the airport at 18:30. Miss the bus, miss the flight.

    Savage broom wagon! 😂
