Fair play, I suppose. I used to hate him, now I have grudging admiration for him, but I don't have to like it!

I find this guy entertaining, I have no idea whether he's a complete fantasist or maybe that there's a wee sliver of truth in what he says.

Healy with a very good effort in the TT, currently 3rd, but likely to slip down a bit.

Edit: He finished up 8th, which is excellent going.

Or 9th. But yeah, good showing. Didn't get to see any of it.

Eurosport telling me it was 8th. There was a flurry of people who passed him in the last ten mins or so.

They've corrected it, or just hadn't updated it when I posted. He's way down in 30th, but ahead of Thomas. His team leader (Carapaz) is only a few places ahead of him, so is effectively out. That might give Healy a bit more freedom in the rest of the tour.

Could Remco challenge?? Doubtful.

Need an off day from Pog, I'd say. Strange things have happened...

You'd imagine when it is the high mountains only 2 in the peloton will survive, and likely even one of them will fall too.

Well… Pog got sick one of the days last year - he was in rag order and although he was already behind, he defo lost the tour that day.

The team need to be up for it too though
