40 seconds faster than some of the world's best up Col d'Eze?ocdupalais said:Nairo hasn’t been able to drop the likes of Pinot, Bardet and Porte on a climb for yonks...Now he’s doing it every race. I know it’s only February, etc, etc... but T-A and P-N are shaping up nicely. Especially with Ineos looking a bit pony...
Thank God he's riding for a clean french team, not Ineos, or else twitter would melt.0 -

I think there's a performance in there that I'd pick out as suspicious before the one by the seasoned pro.blazing_saddles said:

Stages seven and eight are going to be really, really great. I've ridden past the start of the Plan Bois a fair few times on my way to Thones before heading up the Croix Fry and thought 'f*ck that!'.0

Cracking ride by Adam Yates at UAE, even giving Pogacar a bit of a kicking. I suppose Froome will be happy enough to be 10 mins of the pace. Decent ride by Dunbar and Pozzovivo0
