As someone who fractured their radial head last year, he’s not racing tomorrow.

Underestimate Aru at your peril. He will go for the win even if it means risking a podium.

Riding with a broken scaphoid, fark.

He’s certainly no boy band fan.

Someone fkn attack, you pelicans

Realistically, attacking on the steep ramp at the end was their only choice. Doing it on the less steep climb would be madness. Froome and Sky would simply out tempo them and grind them into the dust.
A short stage tonight, with another very steep ramp and a very long run to the finish. Probably too long as I suspect any gains will be neutralized well before the finish line. But let’s see.

Uran and Bennett sanctioned 20s for taking bottles in the last 10km.
Bardet does the same, no penalty.
Rigged.

A good stage. There is a chance that Froome could lose 3 or 4 minutes in a stage. Reckon Landa is as strong as Froome. Rumours of Nieve to Orica. Will be a good signing.

Maybe already signed given he tried to lead Froome off side of hill.

Nieve would be a good get. Kind of curious why he’d leave Sky though. What would OS be promising?

Nieve will get more opportunities at Orica.

UCI reverse the penalties on Uran and Bennett.

Thank god for that. S.Yates asked for a bottle with 10kms to go but none was forthcoming. Lucky boy.

Nieve would suit GG for TDU.

Instead of penalising Bardet
