    Remi Cavagna is the new Thomas De Gendt... he's on the attack once again

    Good man Sean about half an hour ago. Carlton banging on about what a great race it's been for the Brits, and he pointed out it's also been good for Ireland with Sam and Dan.

    After a rip-roaring Vuelta up to Angliru it's all gone a bit off the boil in the last week. Anything likely to happen today/ tomorrow on GC or is all too tame? (haven't had a chance to look at tomorrow's profile)

    Yeah I agree - Sunday was great, TT on Tuesday obviously always going to shake things up, but the three stages since have been a bit tame and always looked like they would be. Tomorrow's stage looks ok but I'd have preferred summit finishes today and yesterday

    I know they've just done a Cat 1 but I don't think they flew up it and Dan Martin has no team mates at all. Unbelievble stuff form him to be in top 5 here

    Roglic going for the sprint. Fair play to him. Nearly won too

    ITV4 highlights unblocked for me this evening. Listening to Hugh Carty, he sounds like a northern Brad Wiggins! Funny to hear him the other day compare the Mortirolo to a motorway bridge, when he did it last year, and say the Angliru is only 6 km long (for him anyway).

    Commentators also regularly talk of lack of teammates but in most cases it barely matters.

    If the riding is steady and riders getting shelled one by one, either you have it and just sit in or you're out. Doesn't really matter if you've team mates. OK you have to fetch your own grub but there is less of this towards the end anyway.
