Been out. Have they announced the start times yet for the last (top) 5 riders yet?
I was planning to sit down from about 4pm.

Thanks pal, appreciated. I’m assuming those are Central European times, so UK -1 ?

Good question.

Sit down at 4 to be on the safe side but I think they are UK times.

Yeah, odd to see Ineos doing that, especially as the pundits were saying the weight difference between the two was hardly anything. It did seem to create an extra delay to my eyes anyway.

What I hadn’t quite realised, was how close to the Slovenian border the course was, and so the climb will be just so pro-Roglic esp at the end of a day in the sun and with liquid refreshments.

Cheering on Rog is fine, but I really do hope there is no monkey business when Thomas climbs up after him …

Come on Geraint! You deserve this.
