First 100+ KM must have been dull as you like given the highlights cut straight to about 40KM. Stonking finish though, I was shouting at the TV for them to survive

Same! Sometimes you think they're brain dead. Crazy how a second is nothing and worth losing everything if you don't win!
Great result today for Yates. Pinot looking fantastic this last week. Disappointed with mas thought he'd do more. Big day tomorrow for yates to get through though. Looks brutal but should be good with just 100k.
Good stage today, I think the only chance Movistar had was if they had drilled it early on, Edmo and Trentin were almost off the back of the group but made it over & then did work on the front.
If they had managed to lose those two and then play off Nairo/Valverde more then something could have worked.
Ultimately Yates strong measured ride throughout and deserved to win.

Nailed it. Dennis up that climb was unbelievable.I've got £20 on Rohan Dennis for Worlds TT....
Yes, it was rather funny. Then afterwards in the interview live on Eurosport he said the S word. I gather he is a bit of a liability haha.
He was/is untouchable on a TT machine right now. I made £30 out of his win and now wish I had put £200 on him....
Yep, it was funny.
Yep, just looks in amazing form, taking that climb in the TT position with his torso barely moving was impressive. The Belgian lad who won the juniors was bloody impressive too.
World Champs. Discuss.
Fantastic race and I quite like the winner, the fact he's finally won it. But I dislike the fact a convicted doper is still competing when the country he's riding for is putting barriers in the way to get to the bottom of the whole blood bag scandal, along with finally naming riders of previously unknown bags. As until that's done we don't know for sure that they're not still riding and competing! Grr! Double-standards!
To me the UCI should've stopped Spain competing until they sorted the whole mess out.

A 38 year old world champion that is seemingly on form all season, I dont buy it.

Ah yeah, Valverde is a bad doper, I forget.

A guilty one as opposed to suspected?

Well everyone here was similarly gutted when Yates won the Vuelta...

Not quite an apples vs apples comparison is it?
