They get to wear a "badge" on their clothes, that's all.

Contador's Madone but using bars from the Emonda but still no cables showing? https://twitter.com/eurohoody/status/899257442311303168

Beautifully raced by QuickStep. That was a textbook race by them. Great win by Yves Lampaert!

But how did the other teams not see that coming. 4 QS riders near the front with 3-5 km to go in x winds.

Very interesting to see Oss at front as well. With him moving to Bora, Sagan will have the best help in the peloton money can buy.

Seriously.

Oss is a hammer. It's going to be hard for GvA/BMC to replace him.

Also I loved how Nibali put seconds into other GC contenders.

They didn't mention the splits on the Eurosport highlights last night - seems remiss of them considering Nibali was on the right side of one. That or I had a little too much wine to notice.

I did see Froome well to the front a lot earlier when it looked like it might have been splitting on the live feed. Had to go out before the finish hence why only seeing what happened on the highlights show.

Don't take me too seriously. The only person that doesn't hate Froome.

Aquablue white kits are awesome but those catlike lids are super stale.

Nice cele by Nibs today.

I don't think the GC guys can afford gifting those intermediate bonus seconds to Froome like they did today..

Froome said that his intention today was "to push on a little bit, to see exactly who's here to fight for GC and who's not. The team was just fantastic, too, Gianni Moscon did a brilliant job, this is his first Grand Tour and he destroyed the field. I had to ask him to slow down at one point because he was dropping me off his wheel..."

Froome looks to be on a pair of SIDI Shots in a color scheme I've yet to see.
Looks like an all white model with the ratchets in black. I'd love to have SIDI have this as a standard color scheme.

Poor El Pistolero, 3mins plus down after just the 3rd stage......

The quicker Contador loses time on GC the better his chances at a stage win.
