I have no idea what Cav was doing.... but my god it was funny.

I'm disappointed to see that today's arrival in Edinburgh is by Holyrood in Queen's Drive, without passing through the town centre.

I was hoping the finish could be more central or at least that the peloton would pass through the cobbled streets. Would have been real fun and an interesting finish.

Uphill cobbled finish going up the Royal Mile to Edinburgh Castle would have been fun.

"What hill are we talking about?"
"You know, the one with the berrybush!"

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Surely DQS can't mess this one up now.

[KZD]

The sprinters teams started working too late the break will never be catched.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

That was brilliant, well done that man!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Chapeau, Pascal Eenkhoorn

 

[BlueRoads]

Lol, DQS these days.

 

[Samamba]

Those 2 in the front really want Lampaert to win or what?

 

[Bolder]

Easy for Lampaert, but I think he was going to win in any event, having Ballerini there and in theory being freshest.

Jorgenson's a pretty decent rider all in all. Not quite sure what he's best at but he's still pretty young.

 

[BlueRoads]

Lampaert was simply the strongest in the end, I don't think they did the best they could from a tactical / team point of view.

Something else, was there a crash in the end that wasn't shown?

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Jorgensen with one of the most self-neutralized attacks I've ever seen. At one moment he was basically going backwards.

..then poops on your sofa...............................

[Ricco']

Sbaragli is doing a massive bid in this Tour of Britain to climb the ladder of the most top-10 without wins.

 

[search]

as it may matter in the end: he is 4.46s behind, by the way (from the TTT), so needs make up 5 seconds to win

I was wrong there, fractions of a second from TTTs are not taken into account, only from ITTs. So it goes back to countback in case of a draw (where Hayter currently also leads though, 20-54)

 

[jmdirt]

I'm glad to see another break succeed! Also good to see two USAers up front, especially the world short track dirt champ!

Congrats YL!

[Leinster]

Tomorrow’s profile is unlikely to create any gaps is it? So it’ll all come down to the sprint again?

 

[tobydawq]

Why is this being talked about so much on Twitter? I didn't watch the stage, so I have only seen the picture. Is there a controversy or is it news that a rider gave a bidon to a spectator?

 

[Faserr]

He rode the whole climb next to them.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I thought Remco was still in Italy.

Joking aside, hopefully the kid gets inspired by this and we'll see him beat Van Aert (or Eenkhoorn, but that might not be as impressive) on the big stage one day.
