    Can't see a thread, only 50km left, peaked my interest by the TG4 lads giving a good review of the Junior Tour and how great it is, also drilling in the importance of the Ras, worth a listen if you speak a bit of the Gaeilge.

    Eurosport commentary mentioned reports in French media this afternoon saying Katusha are done at the end of the season.

    Chapeau to Sagan.


    Quotes from Dan:
    "My gears just stopped working and I had to change bikes. The guys were great, they were right there. It was almost the worst moment of the race – two minutes later would have been the worst moment. Jasper [Philipsen] was incredibly strong, Vegard [Stake Laengen] was there and Sergio [Henao], too – we didn’t even need him but they brought me back to the front. It was a good team effort and hopefully that’s the end of my mechanicals.
    "Today was about saving as much energy as possible. Hitting those climbs today was a good little taster for the legs. Tomorrow is a really big stage. It’s going to be a really hard day – possibly the hardest of the Tour – and everyone will be fresh and explosive.”

    Zakarin and Rohan Dennis very much of the pace today and both lost time yesterday. Presume Dennis working for Nibali but form doesn’t look good.

    Why is UAE- Team Emirates abbreviated as UAD?

    Were they not originally UAE - Abu Dhabi after the change from Lampre–Merida ? Likely never updated the UCI code when they then changed to UAE Team Emirates.

    Ineos still had the old SKY UCI code pop up there the other day,
