His brother? I thought that was Jesus Herrada not winning yesterday.
(Goes and checks ... Oh, no way! Jose!).
Shows how much attention I pay.

Another good stage - well, apart from the crashes. But the competition has been great so far. De La Cruz I think got some unfair stick yesterday - he only came into the Ineos team as a last-minute replacement, he's now second overall, and British commentators are griping his not being in the red jersey. Mind you, he seems disappointed too, but Dylan Teuns came into this on far better form, so it's no suprise.
I admire your enthusiasm, makes me think it's just me but I'm failing to be excited by this race, it's turning into an elimination event.

No not just you,to be fair I've mostly been only.watching the highlights but I'm struggling to get excited myself.Gutted for the crashes yesterday,Roche was enjoying himself and Uran and Hugh Cathy I'm sure would have made it more exciting in coming stages.Ill stick with it though,a bit of a GC shake up yesterday has put another angle on it.I agree with @Flying_Monkey De la Cruz was a bit hard on himself.Moving up to second was suprising enough.

Early, early days. If one can handle the fact the "big favourites" (Bernal, Froome, Carapaz, Dumoulin) aren't there I think it could turn into a potboiler
Lopez is gonna lose a chunk of time to Roglic in the TT so he will be forced to attack on the mountains. We've also got Valverde and Quintana focusing on beating each other rather than winning the race. I also think my mate, Chavez, will have a say in the race too
No boring flat 200km sprint stages too

So Valverde said Nairo was leader and now Quintanna says Valverde is.So that all makes sense now.
At least it confirms no one in that team knows whats going on.
