I'm glad Vlasov was mixing it up with the GC favorites... Hope he really feels better for the rest of the Vuelta

What happened to Valverde?
Vlasov riding into form very quickly after a disappointing stage 1.

He must have really died towards the end of the chase, I thought he was about 35 seconds back.

Giro and Vuelta simultaneously. Crazy times! Maybe too early to say but I see a duel between Roglic and Carapaz this year.

Giro 2019 Nibali vs Roglic with Carapaz as an outsider, this year Roglic vs Carapaz with Mas in that role.

I don't think he died. Just that it is very hard to keep up with the front group in such a fast climb like that one. he was just unlucky.

Is it just me or it happens very often to Chaves. Having a mechanical or flat tyre at the most important times of a stage.

Man, Martin looks soooo oooold... Still wearing a helmet during the interview...
the man has two year old twins. He has probably only started getting a nights sleep again recently...

As the father of 5 year old twins who weren’t out of the house the lockdown, I can totally relate.

It will get clear pretty soon. Stage 6 is a monster - creme de la creme of the French Pyrenees (at the Vuelta!)
And he probably got his bodyfat down to the barest minimum... That's a sure sign of that skinny aged look in his face... He looks sharp!!! Like a serious threat in this year's Vuelta.

Roglic looks good but he's far from his Tour level. In the Tour he'd be blowing past everyone on these finishes but here he's slightly less strong but quite clever, making others chase Kuss to get just a bit of an edge. Hopefully we continue to see Kuss attack like this in the mountains.
Carapaz actually looks like he might be the strongest but so far Roglic has beat him every day so even if he is he's not taking advantage. I imagine Roglic will take around a minute on him in the TT so Carapaz will have to crack Roglic at some point.
Also, I'm calling it now: Clément Champoussin will be the man to end the French drought in GTs. Feel free to dig up this post after the 2028 Tour.

Trying to work out if Irish riders have ever won four GT stages in a year. This is the third one this year, but that’s happened a few times.
