The only thumbs up of today goes to Nibali. The rest can go away.

The shark won again! I really didn't expect this, it was a nice surprise

well, now when it´s how it is, I am a bit sad for Alaphilippe I must say, after what he did the whole tour, he deserved more than this final

Didn't see him do much else than hang on for dear life in the second half of the Tour

However,  if Sagan make it within the time limit today, he´ll win his 7th Green Jersey and absolutely rewrite the history of this competition

I think Bernal is the 3rd youngest winner ever and the youngest since Francois Faber in 1909. I think this is also the first time ever that the whole podium (the top 4 actually) are within 2 minutes.

Not sure who could challenge Bernal in the next couple of years? I think Buchmann will only get better, but i fear the same will be true for Bernal. Maybe Roglic or Dumoulin can challenge Bernal? From a german perspective i would like to see Kämna go to Bora and maybe take over from Buchmann as captain in a couple of years, i think he has great potential.

True, but hanging on for life that long should be commended. I was very impressed with his performance.

But you know, Alaphilippe have still small chance with this type of stage.

Ah the French, they will never change.

Funny coming from an Italian
