Well, at least he was a cyclist. Remco was a footballer, Roglic a ski jumper.
Yes, but Remco became a cyclist young and is still young so isn't a valid comparison. Roglič is, but he didn't really massively change the type of rider he is, his discovery of how good a TTer he was when he moved from Adria Mobil to whatever Jumbo were called at the time was the crazy thing with him more than anything else; he's still pretty much the same rider he was when he first turned pro. We had a decade of knowing what Thomas was like as a rider, and then he changed it completely and the 37 year old Thomas is completely unrecognisable from the 27 year old Thomas that in theory should have been his peak years.

So much TTing ruins the race, they said. They make bigger differences than the mountain stages, they said. They were wrong.

Please, can we dare to have a proper ITT once in a while?
They have tiny gaps exclusively if you exclude TTs where gaps aren't tiny.

Looking really exciting now. Evenepoel looks to be in trouble but there is a good chance he is still recovering from the crash.
Ineos surprisingly strong.

I don't think it's likely that Evenepoel mistimed a peak

So do we trust Tudor or... ;)

It's a win for Remco but they can't actually be happy with this. This isn't looking good for him imo.
At this moment i would be very surprised if he finishes top 5. I'm not being sarcastic. Instead of leading by 3 minutes, thinking it might be enough to survive the mountains with his less than optimal weight, now he has only 40s and he looks, by far, as the worst of the favorites.
