McGee is the man

And how about that Cunego? Takes over the pink for a
while, but faces a tougher battle with the champagne
bottle than he does with any of his competitors.

The key is to twist the bottle, not the cork 😉

What's this? Finishing second on a shallow mountain top
finish? Excellent job from someone who would have been
considered a sprinter until recently. He's doing a serious
job trying to convert himself into a GC man, but first he
has to not collapse after the finish.

That is a pretty impressive ride for him. The climb is
long and not too steep, but the section of 10% grade
early on must have been tough for him. The fact that
there were only 14 guys within 16 seconds (then bigger
gaps on back) does seem to indicate that the climb was
somewhat selective.

That's gotta be a little embarrassing...

That was a great ride. In the US, on OLN, I don't think that
they mentioned his name at all during the race. I was
wondering who that was coming across the line from his team
and was shocked that it was him.

The german announcers on Eurosport mentioned him a few times
on the climb, and again during the finish, but since I
forgot to have a coffee yesterday and was nursing a nasty
headache my fluency in german wasn't what it was supposed to
be and I kept asking myself, "Why are they talking about
McGee?". It wasn't until they showed him lying on the ground
and replayed the finish in slo-mo did I understand.

Those shallow summit finishes are super television! So cool
how they flew around the switchbacks.

That really was spectacular. But I, and the racers
obviously, kept getting annoyed at the motorcycles that
seemed to often be in the way. It is obviously tough to be
close for the all important camera work, but a fly on the
wall at the same time.

McGee certainly has a turn of speed, as you'd expect for an
elite pursuiter. But sprinter?

you're funny. btw, this is my chance to write something

stewart fleming's name often gets confused with stuart
