Buitrago at least learned a valuable lesson today and that is that Rui Costa never does any work in the breakaway. Never. Don't waste energy in getting angry. Either drop him or take him to the line / up the mountain. There is no other option

Roglic and Vingegaard can both easily win if they want to. They have more punch than Kuss and can take a gap and maintain it better than he can. Kuss is more of a steady tempo guy, that's what's he been training for the past few years. But if any of them try to take the red jersey from Kuss they have a PR disaster on their hands that will haunt them for years to come.

Only 20 sec on Roglic, still 1 minute behind Kuss. This is not enough for Remco after the TT. He's not better than those guys on the climbs, on the contrary. I don't think Remco Evenepoel can win this year's unless the entire Jumbo-Visma team gets food poisoning.

A solid ITT performance from Sepp Kuss today. The hype is real!

It looks like the live coverage production team for earned their stripes by covering live canal fishing. The camera all over the place except on the front of the sprint.

Apparently I'm going to keep highlighting failures of organizers, but this corner cutting back right where the riders would come out of the apex of that penultimate blind corner seems like an absurdly obvious flaw.

The high-speed bunch crash at 4k to go looked pretty bad, I'm really heartbroken for Bryan Coquard, it looks like he's out of the race, and Buitrago went down hard and lost a lot of time.

An exciting stage today, I love a mountaintop finish, but once again, the Vuelta organizers keep snatching defeat from the jaws of victory with that tiny space after the finish and Remco's crash. 🤦‍♂️ Glad he's okay, though, and looking forward to the fierce competition in the next three weeks.

What were organizers thinking when they set this TTT into the evening? Or why didn't they at least move it up when rain was in the forecast? You can't even see the teams in the dark and in the rain, this is so sketchy.
