Yep, doing it the Almeida way. But I can understand how very difficult it must be to pace yourself while you see others riding away.

You just need to focus on that gadget on your stem

I know MvdP has an advantage in palmares, but as an all-round cyclist, WvA is far and away his superior.

Because of the subpar field, being a jack of all trades and master of none is finally paying off, I agree.

Missed todays stage as on holiday

\but curious to know how Roglic's back is holding up...was there any talk of it today ?

Roglficiation is usually an MTF stomp though. This was Pog or Vingo stuff.

Rogliromp instead of Roglstomp.

Good to see McNulty got back on his bike to make it to the finish. Had some luck with that crash.
Woods did his reputation no harm with another steep finish win. WvA amazes again with his all round ability.
Roglic had a nice quiet day until the final climb. Maybe Bora have worked out that not riding on the front saves energy.
Interesting quote from Roglic after the stage,"it's nice when things go well, but I also feel heavy efforts like this. We have to take it day by day," Which I assume means he still has back problems. Longer climbs might still cause problems. We shall see.

Except in cyclocross, MTB and one day road racing.

Wout has everything else covered

When did Wout do MTB?

Felt so bad seeing McNulty crash. I feel bad for asking this question but does he have facial scars from a previous crash? I know he was in a bad one. I hope he is ok
