Unusually bad day for Impey . He's usually better than that on Willunga. He looked legless on the finish line. Porte does as expected and a nice stage win for Holmes.
Dizzy points, RhD.So, Trek-Segafredo takes both TDUs (from defending champions on Mitchelton-Scott), and the team with the semi-alcohol ban wins 50% of the stages.

Now... have you already headed to Argentina?
Then it must be me... getting seasick on the way to San Juan.I will this evenening!
(And I'm not dizzy. I'm as normal as I always am.)
Van Baarle is turning into a Kiryienka-esque rider. A rouleur-climber who can do lead-out as well. There isn't anything he can't do.
Ineos should include him in their Tour line up.
They could still drink on special occasions, like celebrating a victory. The plan is working.So, Trek-Segafredo takes both TDUs (from defending champions on Mitchelton-Scott), and the team with the semi-alcohol ban wins 50% of the stages.

I wonder why Ulissi does not win more often. At times He looks like Valverde and sometimes like Sagan.
Maybe he is an "in-between-er".
But he was never able to combine both at the same time.
I have noted another pattern with Porte's acceleration when I watched him in Romandie 2017. The riders are often able to sit on his wheel for about a minute or even more when he accelerates.Porte races like Alaphilippe at the Tour Down under with this accelerations. Pretty good and crazy. Unfortunately he isn't with the best on long strady climbs anymore.
It's because Ulissi's weapons are good, but there's usually someone around who does the same thing but better.I wonder why Ulissi does not win more often. At times He looks like Valverde and sometimes like Sagan.

Porte crossed the top of Kerby Hill exactly 40 seconds before Ewan. That's a huge gap on such a short hill.
I might be wrong but Kerby Hill isn't that much harder than Challambra Crescent? Never understood why the climbers haven't been able to cheat the sprinters in that race.
Just to let everyone know, you can watch the Torquay 1.1 race live here.
