    I have never been so enthralled by a man putting a jacket on

    Who was it on the TdF years ago made an absolute mess of trying to put on a rain cape and Stephen Roche, who was commentating, went apoplectic? Not impressed in the slightest

    Ineos should have put him out of misery and pulled over for him

    Scratching my head about Rohan Dennis from what I'm reading. Has he ever shown this sort of form on such a hard climb?
    He had attempts at GC, and you could see he was just sticking to a power output. A GT is a GT, but it's not the very best field and/or the established at their very top level either.

    Kelderman doing the same unzipped descent :eek:

    Should have put them on back-to-front and got some benefit

    Or even give them newspaper to stuff into their jerseys, the good old way. Terrible time for an ad break on ES :(

    You know I think Almeida has been very smart, not killing himself.
    He might have a lot more left in him on the last climb than most.
    I may be wrong but just looking at him and he looks comfortable.

    Everytime it cut to him, he was pulling the group along, including his own teammate. So either he was comfortable at a higher pace than the rest of the griup and pushed on, or he panicked and went into the red.
    Id have thought masnada or the other bora guy would have been towing that group up instead of almeida

    It seems harsh to say this a weak GT but when you see the names at the top of the GC, it really will be a freak result whoever wins this.

    He'll have lost minimum of 5mins by the end and that will be a very good result.

    Kelderman should have taken his numbers off and put them down his top.

    Wonder who the team would want to win? Guy on his last race with them or a 24-year old?

    A saving grace for Kelderman is that Bilbao & Fuglsang will catch him soon so he might have some help sharing the work load.
