    So Bennett has no contract yet

    Maybe Sunweb will pick him up ...they have the money since Tom is gone
    Lafevere is very tight with the dosh

    I switched to the raw feed once I saw Latour getting interested.

    Indeed! Reminds me of when he took red in 2013 and my first born was given his name when he arrived several days after!

    Was it 2 years ago now he came close and was stuck leading the eventual stage winner out. Can't recall who it was now.

    Uran definitely the danger, only 2 seconds back. So nico needs to finish ahead of him to go into red.

    Is Nico in the race lead? I think he is.

    Finished 11s up in TTT - lost 5 on stage and 4 bonus seconds ..

    Edit - now confirmed!! 6 years since he last wore red here

    I think he made the right call, if nico had to chase down quintano he would have dragged uran with him and could have missed out on both the stage and red jersey. He took a breather and let the others make the chase and composed himself for the sprint and take red which he should hold for a few days at least

    Pity though Quintana got away as Nico was the fastest and could have got the stage as well

    Wout Poels lost nearly 10 minutes today. De La Cruz best placed for them now.
