He was (Roglic) fine on his own Rich.If he'd been in any sort of trouble it might have been different.Roglic set the pace of the GC men.

I get the impression that Pogacar is starting to feel the racing in his young legs. I suspect Lopez will overtake him. The surprise for me is Valverde. I didn't expect him to have the level he seems to have. There's time for him to have a bad day and if it happens I suspect it's tomorrow. He's not great on those long alpine climbs and that last one tomorrow is exactly that. Roglic looks nailed on, subject to him not falling off.

It's hard to judge when someone is going to fail.Dont want to jinx Roglic because I want him to win.But hes head and shoulders above the GC contenders.Hes climbing better than the lot of them.Lopez and Quintana faded towards the end of that stage when Roglic was on the front controlling it ! As for Valverde he tried but failed,maybe his bad day is coming very soon.I think Roglics got another big stage in him.

You up early or been to a all-night rave ?Chris Horner didnt have a bad day but maybe Valverde's just not quite old enough

There is increasingly a Horneresque feel to Valverde's exploits, unless he is a genetic freak to whom the laws of ageing do not apply!
I don't trust anyone who gets rid of their dog in the middle of the night and then denies ever having owned one.
[Awful pun alert!] They say that Valverde is a ruthless rider; well, he is certainly lacking in Piti! [\Awful pun alert]

I'll have to hold judgement on his "getting better with age" Quite possible he could be the Ryan Giggs of cycling ? I don't like him either way.There is increasingly a Horneresque feel to Valverde's exploits, unless he is a genetic freak to whom the laws of ageing do not apply!

For pro cycling fans who are also dog lovers, here are some pictures of a man who looks like Valverde, with a german shepherd dog which looks like Piti. But of course isn't, because he never owned a dog named Piti!

Maybe more suited to the doping thread or a dog loving one ? Anyways as far as I know theres no gains in coming clean so to speak.For pro cycling fans who are also dog lovers, here are some pictures of a man who looks like Valverde, with a german shepherd dog which looks like Piti.

Probably!
Self respect as opposed to spineless lying?
Anyway, back to the race... I'm quite enjoying it, but unless something unexpected happens soon it looks like a predictable winner and a 3-way battle for the other 2 podium places.
