    I think Sunweb's Cervelo's were the nicest bikes of the tour.

    I liked the Astana Wiliers

    Great advert for Cervelo with Hirschi and Soren Kragh getting plenty of screen time... .I want to buy myself a Cervelo now and would never have considered it before!

    The interview with Ashley on Eurosport in which Sam hops off the bike to show that both sides have a different design was funny as well

    Around the 2 minute mark here, it's just a short clip within the longer video.

    Different video but this is brilliant for the reaction of the staff in the bus & the car to the final stage win.

    What happened Roglic’s helmet and visor etc at the end of the TT stage on Saturday. It’s been bugging me for days.

    Overheated I'd say? I was reading a preview and one of the things they were saying was to throw away the visor at the bottom of the climb to keep cool as the aero benefits are much less when climbing. Think it was his first time wearing the helmet too

    The visor Perspex part pulls right off, Its held in place by magnets. Some done this during or at the start of the climb. The Areo part right at the back (the sticky out bit) was probably tipping off his shoulder blades as he was looking up causing it to ride up on his head. And as mentioned probably a brand new helmet so not a great fit or not "broke in"

    I read somewhere that it was intentionally pushed back so there was little to no gap between the end of the helmet and his back/shoulders for those sweet marginal aero gains.
