    hmm.. are we seeing the marginal benefits of aero bikes in practice?

    I doubt it, more likely the BMC riders just rode faster. Sky very rarely do as well in TTTs as you would expect them to.

    Did they put their legs in the wrong holes?

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    It's why the pros are often happy to stand next to middle aged geezers in Lycra - it's a win-win for all concerned.

    All together as far as I can tell.

    Stage 3 Live now. 28km to sprint finish. All together. Bonus Matt Rendell poetry, embedded in peloton, on back of moto.

    Sky and BMC aero-domes; subverted by EBH's extravagant mullet. Cav seen negotiating a last 10km sponsorship deal.

    Hope Matt Rendell gets a commentating/expert gig this year. Great stuff from the back of his moto.
