Roglič and Carapaz now on the same time, for the first time in the entire history of Grand Tours  since last week.

For the leader of a youth classification, Enric Mas has a very worrying hairline.

Are you saying that the Eurosport Commentator is wrong?  No, obviously the timings are wrong!

He would have been right until 2017, when the rules changed

Aaaaand Roglic is in the lead  

 

What a mess, the Vuelta organizers themselves don't seem to know whether or not it's a sprint or uphill finish. It was listed as sprint (there's an official list of uphill finishes) and that has an effect on the rules about how big the gaps need to be before seconds start counting.

And in fact....same time!

So Ineos/Sky threatened to not start today, because of the 3 second gap yesterday.

And only Luis Angel Mate actually went to the start at the right time and was half a kilometer ahead of the rest
