Movistar... I don't even know why this upsets me so much. Yes, they won the team classification, but had they not been in the race not one thing would have changed. Did they make a relevant move, just one, throughout the whole race?
If you can't do more, okay. But the satisfaction they are displaying with this somehow gets to me...
It's the only way to bring Valverde on the podium nowadays ;)

They just finished the race in the middle of a pandemic, arguably the hardest sporting event in the world. Three weeks ago it was 50/50 whether they’d reach Paris. They finished with a rider in the Top 5 who they just signed in hopes of their future. They had a solid if unspectacular Tour. Get over it.

Love watching the genius young prodigies rise to ultimate glory at ever younger ages but it’s also great that we get stories like Sam Bennett of someone who has steadily progressed for nearly a decade rarely getting the big opportunities and has now grabbed the benefit of having DQS at his disposal to empty himself and come away with the best race of his life.
 
Watched it a bit late today, and it was bloody weird seeing all the empty streets of Paris for it.

I've been to this stage and stood on the corner opposite the exit of the Tunnel (across from Norwegian corner) and place was packed. Today was just sad looking in comparison.
