My money is on other riders winning, but it would be nice if either of those two DID win it!

I think you're wrong.

Thrilled for Rog but Dumoulin is breaking my heart a little.

Tom is a good guy.

I was right - the result WAS a nice one! 👍👅

I love how the UK can just chuck in two Grand Tour winners as their lineup these days. We're spoiled!

Doesn't get them a medal, though.

Great rides from Roglič and Reusser IMO, the latter more surprising.

If you missed the beginning, great to see the Refugee Team rider taking part - a winner in my eyes too.

Nope no UK medal, but I don't know if it was really expected.



I still feel bad for Roglic in the Tour the other year! So quite happy to see him another big result to go with Liege and his Vueltas.

Absolutely brilliant for Dumoulin to come back from that self-imposed January sabbatical. A silver medal can still be a win when it shows that spirit and strength of character to overcome personal hurdles.


(I'll catch up on the woman's race in the BBC evening show!)

As could have SLO had they been allowed two, and their two would have been much better TT-ers than our two!!

Very pleased for for Roglic, makes up for an unlucky TdeF

Racism at the cycling. German team official Patrick Moster has come under fire for shouting “Get the camel drivers“ at Nikias Arndt who was trying to catch Algerian and Eritrean competitors in the TT. The remark was caught by cameras and Moster quickly apologised.

Arndt finished 19th.
