So did Roglic go to deep in the rain yesterday?....

can he be attacked by the others?

can he defend

 

oh the self inflicted suspense is killing me

I don't see a Yates-Giro type implosion coming here...

Certainly, they can unsuccessfully try, absolutely

As narrow a mountain road I’ve seen.

 Movistar finally tasting glory in their home race. 17 percent ramps coming up for the Lopez. Does he have enough? 
 

Kuss, what a domestique! And Roglič goes!!

Vuelta stages are for the strong legs. Incredible racing.

Well done Louis!!! Awesome result.

Yes my boy! Lovely to see him in the Top 10 of a Grand Tour again! 

TT obviously isn't his forte, so he will need to hope for some more time in the next two days.

The last two stages have made me a proper Bernal fanboy.

Even though he's probably not gonna be on the podium, I love the fact that he's at least trying to shake things up and not settling for 5th or 6th. I guess that's easier when you've already won two grand tours, but it's so great to watch him try whatever he can to improve his position.

I reckon if this tour was 5 weeks long, he'd have GC in the bag based on his improvement from week 1 until now.

Do you really think so?

I don't think he could ride himself into better form than Roglic over a longer time.  

I'm also a bit blown away by how ineffectual Ineos have been this season after completely lighting up the racing last year. 

Good to see Bardet back in some kind of form and Storer has been a revelation. 

Classics type course today... Might see some MORE aggressive racing and long breaks.

Does anyone know how many missed the cut-off yesterday?

With 5 mins to go there were about 30 still out on the course..
