    At least they're trying to do something 🤷‍♂️

    What else can they do? I suppose they should possibly just sit up as the win has gone but Pedersen and Kung aren’t like that.

    This season has the air of the 99 Giro.

    He’s a specimen isn’t he. Incredible bike handling. Rarely crashes. Rarely has a mechanical. No punctures today. Mentally he’s absolutely done everyone again. Mads looks like the only one with the stones to at least try.

    Impressed by Pidcock today. Not a race he’s suited to and he’s really showed up.

    Agreed - shame that Tarling and Ineos ballsed things up, would have been nice to see what he could do, and or how he and Pidders might have been able to support each other.

    Think he's been dropped now but solid outing given the crash a few days ago.

    Sport needs rivalry

    MDVP is currently peerless.

    It's impressive, but it's not entertaining

    Joke on the Twitter, he may get DQed for towing his team car

    Not sure why so many people feels he’s not suited to it. Yes, he’s small and light but he’s done OK on the cobbles in the past and won the junior and U23 versions.

    Pithie has been impressive as he has for much of the season.

    Reckon Alpecin could Mapei it and lock out the podium here. The've absolutely bullied this race.

    It's not on. It's not what we associate with cycling.

    Looks as if we have the order of the finishing groups sorted too.

    Pollit has been wheel sucking. He’ll probably still lose the sprint but he’s giving himself his best chance.

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

    I think it’s the power now compared to the bigger riders who weren’t so big in the lower age groups.

    Staggering average speed, 1 kmh quicker than last year.

    What’s that, an average speed of 29mph for the win.


    bloody. Hell.
