Hats off to Covi too.

He absolutely deserved that. Great ride although he definitely benefitted from the fact that no-one behind was really riding until the very last couple of km.

Surprised how much time RC lost so quickly. One slight advantage might be that he gets his own Ineos skinsuit tomorrow instead of the less "fitted" pink one provided by the organisation but I doubt that's enough to make up 90" over a 17km course.

I was waiting for more analysis of the moment he 'blew' as it almost looked like he had been impeded, i.e. the gap suddenly went from a couple of metres to ten...

Also - after the kerfuffle in the final corners of yesterday's stage, why was the runner up complaining so vociferously when he appeared to be giving the stage winner an MvdP style 'thumbs up' as he crossed the line? Was it supposed to be ironic?

A good Giro with some cracking days.

Some quite entertaining days in the mountains, even if the GC battle was quite subdued until the end.

Seemed like the breakaways had more luck than normal, overall. Lots of chat about it being a hot and gruelling race, maybe some connection there?

A convincing win for Hindley in the end, and I look forward to seeing Bora mixing it up in future GC contests. They were a breath of fresh air.
