Another Sky original, Ian Stannard, forced to retire through rheumatoid arthritis. Lot of the big engines gone from Ineos with him and Kiriyienka. Good job they've discovered Ganna.

& taken on Dennis.

Without bonus, Carapaz would be at 13 secs & Carthy 15.
They should do away with the bonus seconds. That's why the photo finish is there, at the line, & the stopwatch on the TT. 
Just to further elaborate on this. Can't say Roglic didn't deserve it after winning 4 of 18 stages (in all likelihood), but, without time bonuses, Carapaz would have won the vuelta

How to go round La Vuelta 2nd fastest & still win. They need to bin these time bonuses.

 

Roglic is actually 8 secs slower than Carapaz & only 10 in front of Carthy.

 

It was the same at le Tour until he got found out on the ITT.

Another tremendous Grand Tour; Carapaz and Carthy were both brilliant.

Having the strongest team was key for Roglic, but congrats to him for bouncing back from the disaster at the Tour. I really liked that he went over to Carapaz just after he crossed the line. It was a nice moment between the two of them.

Going to really miss the cycling for the next two or three months. Just hope it starts on time next year.
