    Martinez shredding what's left of the GC Group, very impressive.

    Would love to see Caruso take the stage. Bardet not doing too much work here though.

    Hope Caruso gets the stage. Bardet hasn’t helped a leg (probably can’t)

    In fairness DSM set up the move so I think either deserve and I hope one of them does take the stage!

    I hope he hangs on, and Bardet doesn't poach it!

    Caruso basically begging Bardet to help and he won’t/can’t. I think they’ll be caught now

    It steepens again after this respite, looks like they may get caught out front.

    Yates has popped a bit, and Bardet wasn't faking it, he popped eventually! Caruso looks like he's got this!

    Martinez riding into 3rd like this, considering he had to chase twice on the flat this is some performance from Martinez.

    Phenomenal ride by Caruso, delighted for him.
    Martinez a certain future grand tour winner based on what he did there.

    I thought Wiggins mate (who's apparently the Pope of chiropractors, according to Wiggo yesterday) said Bernal's back was "falling off"?

    No chance. He’s a great domestique but there’s literally 5 stronger GC contenders on his own team and he’s older than most of them

    He’s already had a fine career so I’m not knocking him but the likes of him, Kuss and before him Porte etc are different to the lads who can win grand tours

    Wiggins talks some crap, I don't think he even is aware of what's going on because some of what he says makes no sense or is glaringly obvious. For me he adds nothing to the commentating.

    Delighted for Carusso

    Great to see Caruso win, and hopefully he holds onto second in the TT tomorrow, he deserves it.

    Fuglsang has won it twice

    I thought Carapaz and TGS were both younger so I’m off there. He’s still older than Pogacar, Bernal, Almeida, Remco etc etc

    But how many times have we seen the super domestiques like Porte, Kuss, Tyler Hamilton, etc etc be tipped for grand tour wins and they just never do

    Martinez is a great rider but it’s different when you’re a leader.

    He's only 25, who else besides Bernal is younger than him?

    Out all day so only caught the highlights. Really wanted to see Yates attack early and Bernal struggle. But at the same time I think I would have been disappointed if Bernal didn’t win. By far the best rider over the 3 weeks. Even when he looked like he was going to crack he held on.

    It was brilliant. The amount of times Carusso has been that solider, you can tell he really appreciates the effort from Bilbao.
