    Sams DS saying that Bora & Hansgrohe as sponsors want stage wins and arent bothered by the purple jersey.

    They've talked about security a few times, why is it so elevated?

    I'd be very surprised if there is not a crash in the last 10km of this stage.

    Sounds as if it could be a wet finish like yesterday.....

    Bad decision to sit on Viviani for so long then got stuck behind Stybar I think.

    How they avoided a crash there is beyond me. Crazy stuff and great racing.

    Great finish considering you couldn't pick him out with a few hundred metres to go.
    8 days to go, plenty of time for movement. He's in good form now, confidence has to be high.

    The mauve jersey is probably out of reach at this stage considering he has only one real stage left to contest. Either way its an amazing tour for him.

    Viviani has to make it to Rome still(He hasnt finished a Grand Tour since 2015), bad weather in the mountains could put him in trouble. I think Sam will simply look to try survive the Alps and win the remaining two possible sprint stages (17 and 21) and then see what happens.

    Chaves came home last today, over four minutes behind the penultimate rider.

    I wonder if he was taking it really easy in order to help Yates as much as he can tomorrow, or is he running on empty and ready to abandon?

    Fair play to Viviani and brilliant celebration. He must have been doubting himself after those few bad days

    He cut a classy line to the finish. Second from nowhere ain't too shabby for Sam. Tomorrow is going to be epic...
