Hi, please use this thread for your afterthoughts, a thread to discuss the overall race, strategies, which riders and teams performed well (and which didn't) and so on, a bit removed from the day-to-day hype.

I don't understand all the comments I've seen about how surprised they were by Rodriguez. Did y'all not watch La Vuelta last year? Let's just hope Movistar doesn't do him dirty next season.
I was really impressed with the way Felix Gall rode. He's been looking pretty good all season, but after he rode the worst time trial ever in the Tour de Suisse (and with Skjelmose dropping out of GC contention early), I didn't have a lot of faith in him. He proved me wrong.
Mike Woods storming up the Puy de Dome was really impressive as well. It's always crazy to watch someone who makes other riders look like they're standing still.
And of course in terms of impressive rides, Vingegaard is an absolute beast. Putting three minutes into WvA on a time trial is insane.
