Gaviria and Greipel both relegated in the sprint.  
Headbutting. Looks like most other sprints to me

Team Sky, sucking the sensations out of cycling since 2009.

love all the coded messages. Shit is playing out.

Nibbles: “It was impossible to attack, Sky were too strong”

Doumo: "Some guys might have had plans but probably put them away again”

Some of these climb times a minute faster than EPO era. NEW GENERATION!

I’m just trying to find joy in a the little things: dan martin winning, the yellow jersey going on attack, the fact that Q-S seem to be going for every rider getting a stage win, geraint and his lucky white sunglasses (same pair as always!) etc and ignoring that we are just waiting for the F-dog too stare at his stem for an extra 10mins and count his watts to a win while everyone else is shut down by the dark powers of SKY.

This stage was garbage.  
G putting 20 seconds into Mikel Nieve inside the last what, 500m? Sky pulling 5 minutes back out of the last 20kms?  
What a joke.

everyone knows the pedigree for GT winner is track\>domestique\>classics rider\>GT.

Probably down to the marginal gain of Sky dropping the toilet seat before flushing to prevent bacteria on toothbrushes (this is a real marginal gain).
