That's be a new record if he did.
Who'd have thought the final big descent could be the deciding factor in this. Vingegaard almost has a huge accident and then Pog overshoots and has a little off. Vingegaard proper professional sportsman sitting up and waiting and then almost crashing, be interesting to see if the favour is repaid and they both just ease up for the rest of the day.
Not sure if anyone has been watching European, but it's very confusing with the dutch in white, does anyone know why? Vuelta starting on Friday, generally my favourite GC as it's usually much more calamitous (despite Roglic winning the last 3)
Vuelta starts today with TTT. Hopefully be an entertaining race without Roglic on top!
Seen Bigham finally broke campaenarts record earlier today. Beast of a ride, especially after his crashes at commonwealth. And finally Tom pidcock goes for the European mtb xco at 4pm which should give a good indication of if he can get 2 of the big 3 world titles next week at les gets!

A completely unexpected day yesterday with Remco going into Red, I still think he'll struggle when it comes to the high high mountains, reckon this could be Mas' best chance to win a GT as we know he can live with the best. Ayuso looking strong as well, once again will see if he can do it for the 3 weeks!
Yeah I thought the same. Looked like yesterdays effort had taken something out of him in the last couple of k. But looking strong! As you say be interesting to see how he goes in the last week and at the real high mountains Where he's struggled in the past.
Do feel for Fred Wright but he's not ridden with his brain in those 2 days when he was in the break. Hopefully he'll finish one off!

Yep, covid needs to do one for events now! Relegation zone is being killed by Covid.
Alaphillippe crash will be a big loss for Remco, still interesting to see how he goes at the weekend, but he's looking super strong, can see Mas giving Roglic a good workout in the mountains, but think he'll do as he's done in the past and settle for a podium especially with Movistars position in the table! Hoping Rodriguez can move up to the podium as I've got a bet on Ineos getting someone on the podium in each grand tour this year!

Remco pacing himself through again, riding with a steady head, but still got to be worrying him that he's losing time. Astana looked good yesterday as did Mas, but once again he did hardly anything and sat on Lopez wheel for so long. Been a good week of racing though that's for sure!
Pair of mad stages in both tob and vuelta. Roglic flying and stamping his authority on the race and then wham all comes crashing down in the stupidest of crashes. I think his race could potentially be over, he looked pretty beat up and we know he doesn't recover that quick from injury.
Then the weather at tob made things interesting and nice to see the break get it. Although how the cpmmisaires initially listed the bunch as finishing on the same time I do not know. Perry in leaders tomorrow which looks like it could be a great stage.

Indeed, much like Geraint Thomas people crash often for a reason
Roglic came to cycling late, but its clear there is a lack of mental "capacity" at the limit which means he just gets things wrong or his mind wanders too often for the innocuous ones.

Called it, Roglic out!
