Q1

I doubt there was any deal - he had Yates behind so literally couldn't work with Del Toro. He said afterwards he felt bad about it but there was nothing he could do.

I wouldn't feel bad about it . It wasn't a Nelson Rodriguez

My mistake. I had counted but thought that can't be right! 😂

They mentioned a possible deal on TNT. I'm not sure what the deal would be. You sit behind me for 15km and I'll let you win the stage?

The deal should have been, you give me time and I'll give you the win.
Except WvA wasn't working for the reasons given above so I don't know what they were wittering about. There was no deal.

365 chasing the stage made this high stress drama happen

Considering how awesome Mexican food is, it's always worth getting recommendations for the Calpe, Girona or Monaco area. 😉

Very fun stage. Roglic losing time is good for the race. He can't just rely on bonus seconds and the remaining ITT now.

I had Mexican food (or at least Mexican style food) for the first time in ages on Saturday night. On Sunday, a Mexican rider wins.

Coincidence?

There any pidcock interviews post stage

Late to the race again and boom ! class stage...and Chapeau Wout,well deserved stage win ! Something else to get past Del Toro for the stage after that ride.

But Del Toro in Pink wow...1.13 on team mate Ayuso !
Reading that Ayuso had 3/4 stitches in knee wound so I guess we're soon going to find out who their leader is ,great position to be in for UAE.
Thought Ineos were class as well yesterday....they're still in the fight.
All to play for tomorrow at the TT....good chance there could be 3 UAE riders in the top 4.

Seemingly not 😕

Reflecting on the day, Pidcock posted on Instagram: "Crashed, punctured twice.”
Still, the Briton remained upbeat, "I still like these stages in Grand Tours, even when it doesn't go the way I want. Hats off to how my team rode today, sorry it didn't go the way we wanted.”

I don't know, but where should I ship July's consignment of pickled herring and rye bread to?

In a way it's mean to say, since others crash as well, but it's also not entirely happenstance that the biggest time gaps were caused by the crash of an Ineos rider. They definitely crash all the time and more than most, which is a shame, because they seem to be a nice bunch. Magnus Sheffield seems to crash every third race and only Jay Vine from a non Ineos rider is able to put up those kind of numbers. 😉

...caused by the crash of an Ineos rider. They definitely crash all the time

Geraint Thomas, who frequently falls victim to random accidents five times daily on the way to the team bus alone, is an outlier and should not have been included.
