Quintana good again?

I wouldn't go quite that far, but he did actually manage to a) read the race for once, b) go for a ballsy attack, both of which are probably career firsts. I'm impressed, but I fundamentally don't trust him

He’s lame duck status and probably ignoring the dumb Movistar “team strategy.”

His first GT year, he fuckin went for it all the time and had the gas to back it up. Only glimmers since then.

No particular reason. Just bad legs. Team sky just seem a bit weak at this race.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Looking forward to quintana and valverde attacking each other today

As far as backstabs go, this one was fairly enjoyable. Good stage overall - big fan of the Burgos BH team car driver almost running over one of their riders

Uran, Roche, Carthy, de la Porte have all retired after a crash. Tony Martin is currently looking like he's riding with assless chaps

Where is the Kate Courtney love. Next American men’s road hopeful probably isn’t Kuss...it’s Quinn Simmons. Rumor is he already has a Sunweb contract.

Kate and VDP are cool and good too.

I hope Kate is able to bounce back at worlds. Back half of the season was really a step back from the first few weeks.

Make sure the new thread title doesn’t have a date or event attached to it like the current one. You’ll need to pick something that’s always relevant. Maybe:

Isn’t Quinn from Durango too? Must be dumping PEDs into the water out there.
