Well, I for one enjoyed this a lot.

It wasn't the route we wanted, but it was decisive, selective, and the best riders battled it out head to head all the way to the line.

We also saw a lionhearted effort from Almeida cementing his emergence as a genuine grand tour rider.

Tao in the hot seat but who knows what happens in a TT in 2020!

I can't help but think how much more epic this would feel if those two weren't TGH and Jay f*cking Hindley. Bigger names really would make this a lot better right now.

Don‘t get this at all. It‘s so exciting to see new faces in front of a GT.

It would also be more exciting if we didn't know 100% sure who's winning this tomorrow

I said a couple of years ago that (at the time) Sky would eventually put Egan Bernal to work supporting Tao Geogeghan Hart, but that was me being facetious about their ability to transform the British riders but not succeed with the riders that were seen as sure things when they signed them. Now it might actually be a possibility, even after Ineos took over and make the team a less nationalistic concern than it was in the Sky days... and it might even, depending on race situation, be merited. WTF am I watching.
