    McNulty? He crashed during the ITT a few days ago (and finished last) so I doubt that they are saving him, it's probably more of a case of him trying to do the best he can with his injuries.

    Ah I missed that. Thanks

    Wow Valverde waiting there ready to have a go at him, regardless of who is right or wrong Kwiato was a better man than I'd have been if someone put their hand on me like that.

    On the Breakaway on Eurosport Dan Lloyd said that Ben O'Connor said/wrote that Ineos were trying to slow down Movistar and that Movistar were right to be so angry.

    Is MVDP a worse GC rider than Tom Dumoulin was when he nearly won the Vuelta in 2015?
    Prior to that, TD was pretty much a TT specialist, no one thought he could climb with the GC but he hung on until he was isolated and ambushed on nearly the last day.
    I know MVDP is just doing all he can at the minute to honor the jersey and will probably pull out soon to prepare for the Olympics so it's not join to happen this year but is it possible that given the right parcours and team support, he could win a GT?
    In the same vein, and more realistically for this year, can WVA mount a serious challenge?

    Nobody really knows, MVDP has never done 3 weeks or been tested as a GC rider. He hadn't really done a TT before wednesday but put in a good shift there so who knows.
    Would be some craic if he won the TDF and went to the Olympics on a mountain bike and not the roaad

    Oh ffs. Rog owns the GC, all the team so know that , battle is for the podium. Movistar have Mas who was 5th last year so a reasonable podium candidate which would be huge for movistar. If you make a list of Mas rivals for a podium Carapaz is number 1.

    Teams work on predictable models. Not what you watched on Netflix
