Stage 16 ended in a sprint - but no regular sprinter's sprint. Amongst a sprinkling of out-and-out fastmen, also contesting the finale were a contrasting mix of puncheurs, rouleurs and climbers.
The 209KM stage in to Berne took its toll on all but the very best of the best and provided a thrilling finish. Dan's legs carried him safely to the finish, but the final climb of the day took away any thoughts of contesting the finish. He rolled home in a small group 7:23 down on the stage winner in position 163.
But does any of that really matter when you you can wear a casquette like an absolute boss. Chapeau Sir....Chapeau!

Offered millions of pounds of central government funding for local transport development, the city has elected to remove an important active travel corridor prior to the publication of a review into its effectiveness. The actions of a local councillor, praised by the City Mayor, could lead to a huge reduction in local transport funding that will set the city back years. We look back at the last two years, the impact of Covid, and ask is this the end of the road for a co-ordinated active travel plan for Liverpool?
