Congratulations to JV for great team performance and to Robert Gesink for taking the jersey.

Long time since we seen a proper TTT on a GT race and hopefully there will be more of it in the future. Was a nice stage to watch. Roglič did a couple of strong pulls hence hopefully his health is under control.

Other teams did well but still managed to lose some seconds. One objection i have is head sock. That was just too much detail.

Seeing Gesink in red reminds me of the Gesick vs. Nibali debates that some of you were having when I started lurking here (2009?). Maybe those two can get in a break together for a final showdown :)
In fact just noticed the original Gesink thread pop up and there it is on the 1st few pages . . .

Love to see Gesink in red!
Remco and Carapaz not far behind. Some gaps between the others.
No crashes (I think?), good start for this Vuelta.

Masnada was second across the line for his team, despite pulling hard in the final km. He had to come around some teammates in the last 100m
His strength is there and I am excited
He wasn't even wearing the headband under his helmet like all his teammates

Seems I was clearly right. Nibali never won the GP Quebec and GP Montreal so we know who is the better cyclist.
