Champoussin 5th in the GC. He must be hired by Decathlon to support Paul 🙂

Ineos is really becoming a winning machine, August's win today was their 17th this season. Hopefully August rides a GT soon, he already deserves it.

Great stage from Uno-X as well, putting almost their whole team of the from to help Johannessen reach 3rd place overall.

Very concerning signs for Red Bull, Lipowitz managed to narrowly keep his second place but was unable to follow Seixas when he attacked on the last Elosua climb and Roglič had a complete off day, he is known for struggling in cold rainy conditions but not like this.

Seixas confirms his GC win while putting on a show for the fans, great stuff.

When I saw him in the top10, I couldn't believe it; it's like he wasn't even in the race. The Haimar Zubeldia effect.

if I ever say the same, it means I've been kidnapped and it's my secret cry for help

After Blue Roads, unfortunately, left the forum there has a been noticeable decrease in the number of kidnappings.

He has the watts but his problem is to be consistent, what he has been throughout this week 🤔🤔🤔

Heck of a lot of DNFs. A lot must have suffered in the cold. Riciitello dropped like a stone. Hard conditions for tiny, skinny guys I guess.

Another very young race winner. Please, cancel the young riders' competition in all races (or at least reduce it to a under 20 contest). If you're sorry for having less competitions with jerseys, introduce a seasoned rider's competition (and I'm not even kidding).
