I wonder if that's why he was so mediocre so far, although if that's the case, he's been going on for too long..

I suppose it’s possible he had no other symptoms other than losing 2-3% off his top performance levels.  I know that COVID patients - like top international athlete my 88-year old mother - have trouble absorbing sufficient oxygen.

Looks like a breakaway day in the Giro - 10 minutes up with 34km to go.

 

First bid for the win - :GBR Alex Dowsett goes off solo.  He’s a TT specialist so....

 

Looking very good for Dowsett now, 30 secs & 6.5km to go.  
 

Textbook 1-2 for Israel Startup Nation, sent Brändle down the road first, when he got caught Dowsett attacked, get their first ever Grand Tour win!

Big climbing day today, but it’s cold & wet so nobody much interested in the GC race so far.  30k to go, looks like it is starting to happen now.

 

And...nothing happened.  Looks like a breakaway day, then. 4 mins & 15k to go.

 

Castroviejo & Ruben Guerreiro going for the win from the break.  Action at last from the peloton.

 

Guerreiro :POR gets the win!  First World Tour win.

 

Bust-up in the last 1k for the overall, but Almeida :POR keeps the Pink.

That's what happens when it's a final climb where the steepest sections are at the very last parts, leading to everyone more or less waiting for that to possibly do anything :p

Meanwhile Edoardo Affini got fined 200CHF for a sticky bottle today.

 

Also, Edoardo Affini withdrew after Friday's stage. So yeah.

First Slovenia, now Portugal.

 

Now we need Estonia for Vuelta.

Mihkel Räim taking the stages, Rein Taaramäe taking the GC. Too bad Jaan Kirsipuu isn't there anymore to sprint well and then withdraw in blind panic when the first traffic bump is in sight. Nobody started the Tour without finishing it more often than Kirsipuu's twelve times :bowdown:
