Kelderman shutting down Hindley just as DQS were forced to chase - bit odd.0
-
Almeida either looking ropey or doing a Tommy V sat near the front.0

Ben O'Connor climbing faster than the peloton and almost at the top.

Don't anybody tell me that the Giro is better than the Tour.

Chuffed for O'Connor after his efforts yesterday. Well deserved win and hopefully good for his contract prospects if not for the team as a whole.1

Didn't see today other than the last few km but most of this year's race has been superb (and I'm not usually one of the trendy types who like to say how it is better).blazing_saddles said:Don't anybody tell me that the Giro is better than the Tour.

Poor stage , but you can see why. TGH had no helpers and it would have been risky to attack on such a shallow end to the stage and Lotto looked like they were going to attack then changed there mind .Van Nicholas Ventus

Briancon confirms the Agnello/Izoard stage annulled, citing the French rule of no more than 6 person gatherings. (So, good luck with the Aubsique/Tourmalet, Vuelta)
Vengi confirms the replacement stage will be Groundhog Day up Sestriere.
