Almeida out with Covid.

DNS today as tested positive. Guess it would explain his slight slump over the past two days.

A huge pity for  the rest of the team as not sure if the entire team will withdrawal?

 

Blaksam, well done to still keep tabs on the GC front runners while sitting with the first signs of Covid

I’m not watching yet, but here are the dropouts so far:

Heard Dan and Robbie talking about Sonny Colbrelli not allowed to race with a pace maker; an Italian Sports Federation rule.

So if he wants to race competitively, he has to take out a licence from another federation.

Awesome racing today. That looked hard. Before the time trial on stage 21, this high mountain stage awaits - 4490 metres vert over 170 kms-ish. It’ll hurt, lots. Geez.

Bora’ has never had a GC contender on a Grand Tour. Can Landa surprize?

Was Rafal Majka & Buchman not their GC contenders for a while?

I don't think Majka or Buchman were ever 3 seconds off the lead with 2 stages to go and a real chance of winning, genuinely contending for the win. 

Symantics! hahaha

Sorry, Milky - I meant to type “never had a GT contender finish on a podium” 😇
