[Carols]

Kudos Brambilla!!!
Kudos Woods?????

 

[RedheadDane]

Brambilla takes it all!

Or... at least I think he also won the overall.

 

[BlueRoads]

Brambilla almost alaphilipping.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Woods and Brambilla both sitting up to celebrate on their respective stage wins ends up impacting the GC.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Brambilla is a better mathematician than the commentators.

 

[tobydawq]

My God how stupid is he to celebrate so early?

Luckily, he still got it by two seconds.

Okay, five seconds it was.

 

[Netserk]

So, was he riding on a Madone?

 

[Carols]

Brambilla takes the GC also! Nice start to the season .

 

[Samu Cuenca]

So, was he riding on a Madone?

He would be a mad one if he didn't

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Don't think we'll see two stages of this quality on the same day for the rest of the season.

Even my wife asked why they never ride hard through the line...

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

The on screen distances and times were hopeless towards the end:
Gap from Molard group to Woods group way overestimated;
Distance remaining showed 2.something with 300m left;
Time recording gaps after Brambilla finished didn't start for about 3 seconds.

Brambilla said that
his radio was broke
so he wasn't so aware about the GC

 

[Alexandre B.]

It was a fine day of racing, I'd say.

Just another reason more to ride hard till the line, when you know you are only 13 seconds behind in GC before the stage. But luckily it worked out fine for him.

 

[F_Cance]

That was a great stage. Really did not disappoint.

 

[will-10]

Enjoyed that. MVP goes to Armirail, I was rooting for the FDJ guys just for his sake.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Thoroughly impressed by Tulett. Only 19 years old, and top 20 in GC, less than 4 minutes behind the winner.

Lollema

Good thing that he's a star and not a water carrier.

 

[Escarabajo]

Miguel Florez from Arkea has neck fracture. I had so much hope for him. Specially after Androni sidelined him last year at the Giro.

Neck in a femoral context (leg). Not the "conventional" neck, if I'm explaining myself good in english.

Yes, that's quite an important distinction.
