I see he's been relegated to 5th anyway for cutting up another rider in the sprint.

All his switching back and forth it's a wonder he didn't bring somebody off. :x

Roglic deserved the win but Alaphilippe did him two favours there, and Marc Hirschi was on the loosing end of one of them.

Although I'm not an Alaphilippe fan I must admit he enlivened the race up.

Hirschi would have won the sprint. Alaphilippe got what he deserved - being made to look like a prize [rude word removed].

Suprised there's no mention of the Ladies LBL with Lizzie Diegnan taking the top step on the podium and Hannah Barnes coming in 6th.
