What a race !!!
Managed to catch the hour and a bit prior to SBS broadcasting it, so happy there.
Was a great race where there were some good ebbs & flows, and the last 40km were nail biting.
Dared to dream that Estaban would win, and he did.
Also enjoyed the footage of the Madonna (been there and done that ) del Ghisallo - man that was a tough climb.
The descent down from Servinio looked magnificent.

+1 one of the better races I've seen this year. Rosa screwed up the last 300 metres or so but was the strongest. I wanted Uran to win and Chaves is class. With his boyish looks he reminds me of the paper boy that wandered in and stole the show.

I'm Esteban's Aussie cousin !! ( a la the Stig for Top Gear)
