final climb today
My company has booked a non negotiable Teams meeting at 3-4pm today, FFS!
this is going to be mental.... no one has the legs 😀
DQS got the hammer down Ganna vs TGV
Don't like the look of Yates with his jersey unzipped.
LOL, get a move on!
looking tense in the peloton, tense watching 😀
Bernal looks better
****ing el Yatesy
the cobbled ramp was a surprise!
Stage 20: Verbania > Valle Spluga Alpe Motta 164.4km
the Reckoning part 2.
24k @ 6% 9k @ 7.3% and 8.5 @ 7.5%
Wonder if Matt White and Davide Bramati have had a conversion "we'll help you with a stage win if you help us on GC".

fascinating stuff
wonderful roads aren't they, hairpin after hairpin
Yates can't wait for Martinez to finish, he's going to have to try something isn't he?
Martinez is beasting it, too late for Yates now he should have went a while back
and that's that answered!
assumption is the mother of all **** ups.
That was the best Grand Tour stage I've seen in ages. Too often everything waits for the last climb but today it was the first. Great work by DSM to kick things off but Bilbao and Caruso were brilliant.

Klunk and the other posters well done and great vids by Bike Ex 🙂
Cavagna - Whoops!
I don't know if that cost 12 seconds or not. He was 51s from entering the corner to finishing
Just as a comparison, Sobrero was 33:21 to 34:02 including gesticulating at another team car, but call it 40. Cataldo was 42s
So looks like the incident cost him maybe 10 or 11s, and he lost by 12s. Would have been close.
Can't tell from the eyes if Ganna was grinning behind that mask!
Yep the TGV isn't designed for sharp turns.
Well deserved victory....
