Not surprised that Hatch is in the commentary chair.

Shout out for Nishimura - already 4'36" down. Nearly took out another rider too whilst being caught.0

Mollema's bike change handily demonstrating why the bike change isn't such a smart idea.

Forgot about that. Might as well take your time and get your money's worth then, eh?0 -
Sivakov in 13:55 +01:01.
26" behind Tao, for anyone watching how the Ineos dual leadership plays out.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
Mollema 39" down. Suspect the bike change took up at least ten seconds of that (was 15" down at the intermediate)0

Tao sweepstake on GC in Verona? 28th"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

It'll be interested how Ineos play this. Sosa waaaay back and Sivakov a bit off as well. they're either all just going for stages or Tao is their GC man. I think top 15 would be a good result if he targets it.0 -

Dunbar could end up their best placed rider by Verona.

Well he was faster than Zakarin, but probably doesn't climb as well :shock:0 -

Yates looking magnificent. Is he going fast, though?0

It’s going to be an ugly catch for Gaviria on the climb at this rate...0

18 secs down for Yates at the intermediate. 1 sec behind Tao G Hart0
