Gee just could not help himself from attacking at that corner and in typical style nearly stuffed it up at the end ????

 

 

Notice the superb tactical by the Ineos domestiques including Kawasaki who slowed down before the hairpin, allowed Gee to surge while they drop the pace by 120 watts, generating a handy gap for the eventual winner. Geez, Sonny is on fire. Wow!

Why did he feel the need to look back though. If he'd lost it I would have thought the bookies had been involved ????

Did you see his interview - he fully owned his error - quite self deprecating

[Jewbacca]

GvA doing his darndest to animate the racing AGAIN!

I feel for him as these days, nothing really sticks. He definitely won't die wondering

30km to go.

The lead is dropping quickly as Tony Martin pulls up the Col de Porte

[Vetplant]

Astana now motoring on the front of the Peloton.

Lutsenko vs Gee going to be a nice battle today.

Meintjies on the attack, have not seen him do anything lately.

[Frosty]

Not bad for an old toppie

Will we see this win on The Least Expected Day: Inside the Movistar Team 2021?

[Plentipotential]

Anyone but Valverde. Damn. 

[Jakkals.]

Lekker Louis...this is what we wanted...tough task when the peloton rides in together on a 10% gradient.

[Frosty]

Nice to see that he didn't lose any time to the winner. My be tempting to just sit up and ride in from there.
Top 26 less than a minute (40s) behind then it drops off in smaller groups there after.
