2017 was even worse, at least we had an actual battle for the stage win today. But yes, this was very lame.This is the worst Etna stage by far lol
To be fair, no-one was really riding for GC today.I love Valverde's way of not riding GC.
Bora stage win and 3 guys in the favorites group...
Don’t think Yates was making that much effort to be fair. Just doing exactly enough.Pozzovivo and Hirt dropped, Yates and Ciccone holding on for dear life.
Almost nailed it. Carapaz didn't get those 2 seconds, though.Peloton to give the break Pereiro-like distance. GC guys to finish together in a group of 20. Carapaz to break loose with 50 meters left for a 2 second gap.
I still think they made a deal. Kämna could've easily gotten the 5 extra seconds he needed there at the end but decided to sit up early and celebrate, think that was intentional.

At least we don’t need to worry about Sivakov becoming the first French GT winner since Fignon yet. That would be... odd.Sean Kelly getting it right again about INEOS burning riders for no reasons today
5 seconds? Lopez had about 40 seconds on him in GCI still think they made a deal. Kämna could've easily gotten the 5 extra seconds he needed there at the end but decided to sit up early and celebrate, think that was intentional.
Ah, damn! I confused Lopez time with Oldani from earlier, my bad!Which 5 seconds? He was 43 seconds behind López in GC.
