Chavez started 2017 Vuelta and 2018 Giro very strong too, but faded in both for various reasons, so we have to wait till week 3 to see if he is back. But yes, he looked very good yesterday.
Considering week 3 has just a single MTF and a time trial I think he peaked adequately.  |

Speedbumps in the final straightaway for the sprint is just great design. 
Soler getting his due. Martin still looking great, so I'm happy.

I think the winner will be Roglic, if not... Enric Mas |

So Marc Soler accounts 100% for Movistar’s wins this year. Dan Martin definitely good. Could have a shot at the podium if someone between Roglic/Carapaz/Mas fail or have an issue somewhere. |

Poor Chaves 
Impressive stuff from Martin, haven't seen this from him in a few years.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Froome already warming up to support Martin in 2021. |

Due to Covid-19 restrictions in France, stage 6 will finish in Aramon Formigal rather than Tourmalet. |

Ah that's so shitty, glad it was just a minute but still just so undeserving a way to lose time

Dan Martin has no fricking luck. Could have scored points and probably finished with Roglic on time. Instead the freaking idiots in front of him crash on an uphill. ffs

apparently Roglic was the cause of that crash, hitting Rojas front wheel when started to sprint

If that's true, very unfair that he gains time and points on guys held up from it.

they were all awarded with same time, obviously different story about points...
I saw a video from helicopter somewhere on Twitter. it was definitely Roglic fault, not an intentional move obviously

Shit weather, chaotic race, but I think Carapaz is gaining time on Roglic. |

Crazy stage, race totally broke up. Love to see it! Wish the pictures were better, but who knows if the stage is that crazy on a sunny day.

Here’s an interesting thread that explains Jumbo’s demise today:
Apparently rain jacket problems + too much energy spent chasing the peloton + they sacrificed Kuss to help Roglic back into contention today. |

looking at Roglic final climb seems a mere justification, he was with no legs imo, let's see if he is cooked or just a bad day
