A couple of classics from Kelly and Kirby
Kelly: "The time bonuses finished on stage 9"
Kirby: As they passed through the 4km mark with 3.9km on the clock "Passing through the 3.9km mark" (or words to that effect)

Sorry I was wrong.
Eurosport lied to me.

Probably the most significant one recently is stage 10 at last year's Giro. Dumoulin won, Thomas was second, 49 seconds behind.
Roglic was 57 seconds behind Dumoulin at the Worlds last year.

Really happy to see Sagan get through that stage. So dominant with the points - if anyone else is gifted the green jersey through a DNF, it would be sickening.

We could do a whip and five it to Sagan so he can sponsor the jersey instead of skoda and then his name will be on it no matter what.

At this point of the TdF, yes. But it's come at the expense of some of the fastest sprinters, which qualifies the outcome a little. Where are the pure sprinters to race these days?
During yesterday's itv4 commentary, Cav said that as soon as he saw the route for TDF2018, he said that no pure sprinters would finish. As far as his own performance went, he had trained for the mountains at the expense of sprinting power and still did not manage the mountains.
IIRC correctly, Cav's finish time on the stage he was eliminated was still 15 minutes better then the fastest Etape rider.

And Thomas has 4 seconds per km on the whole field. That does seem a big margin even with better TT riders behind.

He's a top time triallist in his own right
