Or it could be Ochowitz is frustrated with Richie’s bad luck.

I think everyone is frustrated with his luck!

Power and Simon Yates in the final group of 8, with 15km to go.

Power attacks with 10km to go and Yates bridges over - They have 10s on the peleton with 10kms to go.

How far ahead are they from the peleton ? What are the parcours for the end ? Tick the boxes and Yates gifts the win to Power.

Yates gives the win to Power.

Is Kristoff the biggest bloke in pro cycling? He looks massive compared to everyone else on the road. Maybe it’s the white kit…

Kristoff is a big guy - His DS’s have been known to complain he is overweight.

And it was great to see two French riders in Demare and Laporte fight out the finish of stage 18 - Cofidis management appealed to the jury as Demare drifted out in the last 100 metres - Ewan confirmed to participate in Ride London on Sunday - Onwards and upwards to the Vuelta.

He’s an excellent TTer. Even money I reckon tonight, Froome isn’t at his best, so Roglic is in with a fair shot, also in catching Dumoulin.
The more that I think about, the more I like Roglic’s chances.
