Just do a criterium up and down Mortirolo until you get 210km as the original stage, should be ok weather there and the riders would be so happy because they are really keen on racing

Wasn’t Le Manie in the route back when Cav won in 2009?

How to waste your best climber 1.01 Don’t let him attack and have him pacing your best GC hope in the last km only

Col du Platzerwasel, good memories of Haussler extraordinary stage win in the rain...

Thomas has it in control I think, last part should suit him better I guess

Looks like small gaps? Maybe Roglic or Thomas can clearly come out on top

Quite happy to finally see a portuguese in the podium of a GT (I'm not old enough to have seen Agostinho). Speaks a lot of Almeida quality that it's not even a surprise, perhaps even a bitter taste of victory that is so close but (probably) not going to get it. Realistically he has some...

Good that he gave it a try for GC. Nothing wrong with no chasing stages, he has plenty of time to get back to do just that

I don't think even the author of that quote believes this :D Yes that's part of my point, as ridiculous as Sky were, even they look somehow believable these days. It's crazy really

Still remember the old days where Contador was definitely doping because no one could be good both on Spring and Tour. Also because he could take a hilly TT here and there. Then Sky came along and it was ok to dominate Spring and summer stage races if you had the right pillows. Now Pogacar...

The one and only Foguete da Rebordosa!... I have a soft spot for the guy, I knew nothing of cycling but still followed the Volta every year.

I hope Carapaz drops them

Ah yes Contador was crazy all out on a soft 2nd category Col de Manse if I remember. Riders do make the race...

That's like Tour 2011. Crap all the way then puff! Schleck raid on Galibier and Contador all out on Telegraphe/Alpe and most people labet it epic forgetting the other 19 stages

I wouldn't take many conclusions from today's stage as nobody really pushed the descents except maybe G. Martin... Let's see when the pressure is on after Mortirolo for instance.
