Fun climb. Padun smashing it on the wrong part, Bernal's minute of glory, another Jay trying to do a Hindley, Bardet showing us again why he has so few wins, Carthy loving the steep part, Landa not showing off but actually winning a race and the return of the Aru, today Zubeldia style.

Aru is alive and Einer Rubio is finally living up to his potential/what he showed in the u23 ranks.

Last year was contract year as well and he was poor, people like to make out he does not try when really it's the opposite, recovering from the iliac artery issue is not easy.
Last year he was also top 10 in the Tour de l'Ain and Burgos and 5th in the Mt Ventoux challenge. He can still get decent results in smaller short stage races and one day races, his recovery on the other hand is gone. He can no longer handle consecutive mountain stages and after trying to hang on for dear life for waaay to long in a gt he just cracks hard.

Bernal is looking in a really good shape for La Vuelta but Landa also well.
Good win by Carthy and nice to see Rubio stopping to wheelsuck.

Could watch this race but what happened to Bardet ? Seemed he was going to win GC


Got to say I am very happy to see Aru up there ....what a dreadful few years he has had and he must have fought to get back up there

Would love Landa to win GC as he deserves a break after all his crashes

Bad legs for Bardet, he had quite a drool, but I don't know if the heat got to him.

It is quite incredible, also the way he came back to his level after all these injuries. Hopefully it's not the end of an interesting career.
He'll get another metal plate to add to his collection and in june he'll finish top 10 in Tour de Suisse again.
