    Very ambitious by Yates. I wonder if he's getting a bit over-confident.
    Or very worried about that TT...

    YMMV :)

    probably all the above as his vision blurs out with the effort

    On current evidence, even if TD was 1 minute ahead after Tuesday then I don't think it would be enough to defend against Yates.

    Having towed Dumoulin on the climb, watch him leave the idiots for dead.

    Chase is a mess. TD pops his nose in front for 20m then starts moaning to the rest about turns!

    Even now, Dumoulin still wants a wheel to follow.
