Oscar Onley is doing pretty well so far
Stage win for Simon Yates today, with Ben Healy becoming the first Irish rider in yellow since Stephen Roche in 1987.
Fair play to Healy, got to be one of the best weeks if not the best week for an unheralded rider I can remember. Even if Pogacar had no real reason to want to hang onto yellow, putting that time into him today when he couldn't take it easy due to Vingegaard is an incredible effort.
Couple of great alpine stages just gone, especially yesterday - breakaway leader Arensman being pursued up the final climb by the riders in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th and holding them off by 2 seconds.
Onley looks set to just miss out on the podium in Paris but a fantastic 3 weeks from him.
'Ben Turner wins sprint' is not a headline that any City fan would expect to see but that's what happened yesterday as the Ineos rider beat Jasper Philipsen to win stage 4 of the Vuelta.
The Tour of Britain (and Geraint Thomas's career) will finish on North Road this year. Sunday week (Sept 7th) at around 14.45.
