Remco on the late timing... https://twitter.com/GcnRacing/status/1695540467041984793?s=20
Highlights on Quest.

Tried the Freeview app on Android. iplayer worked through the freeview app, but not Quest. Also I couldn't see a 'stand alone' Quest app, that may be req'd to work in tandem, as iplayer does.
Highlights on Quest.
The main TV was taken up by the kids tonight so I thought I'd watch it on my mobile phone via the Freeview app. No joy. The channel is not coming up as playable at all. I did have to retune the TV the other night to watch highlights. Google informs me Quest have changed frequency. Might this be why? Any other Android/Freeview users watching successfully?

Doesn’t work for catch-up on iOS either.
Possible strategic blunder currently in progress...It's difficult to work out what happened when coverage only started with about 85km to go and the commentators were saying that they'd had incomplete and conflicting information as to what had happened up to that point.

You're missing a great event!
I'd love to see Sep Kuss win a lot more. But I suspect there are bigger egos in that team.
On the other hand, I was cheering on Bardet - can't remember when he was so high up on a stage of a GT?
And he still looks like a teenager
Yes. Beginning to wonder if JV* is secretly owned by Saudi Arabia. It's becoming as predictable as football (unless you are Brighton ...).
* Jumbo Visma, not Jonas Vingegaard, though I suppose he would be included. Only just noticed the JVs!
I'm sure it won't last but it's a shame we won't be able to see it.
Can someone explain why the GC timing point was moved by 2km today?Filthy weather.
How does it work?Not a clue old bean, not a clue.
Excess of mud on the road a couple of hundred meetings from the end.
Timings for the GC and various competitions taken at the revised 'finish' point (and presumably also positions for the points jersey), but the winner of the stage decided by who crossed the 'real' finish time first. Similar to what happened on the second stage, ending in Barcelona.
Wow, that was something unique today.
"I came here with no expectations and was just looking to help out the guys like always. Then I came into this beautiful jersey and I discovered a new level of self-confidence and racing instinct," said Kuss, who has led since stage eight.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/66801381

Jumbo-Visma boss Grischa Niermann said: "I think everyone would like to have Sepp in the lead and he's still in the lead, but they also want to win the stage and we agreed that everybody is allowed to go for it."
Anyone else think there's a little of Eddy about Remco?
'LBL-like' Stg20, 208km / 4000m+ (Sat.) looks like another Remco kind of day...
