    Potentially TGH will be the first English GT winner.

    While you may say Wiggins is Belgian, what is Simon Yates?
    Forgotten. 😉
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Been a cracking couple of mountain stages to wrap up this Giro. All down to the TT tomorrow. Fantastic.

    Sen-bloody-sational from Dennis.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Presume Hindley needs to start the TT minimum of 20 seconds ahead of TGH? So would 5 seconds plus a time bonus on the line be enough

    It was 1 second not 5
    Yeah sorry, I meant 5 seconds on the line, plus time bonus. Irrelevant now anyway.

    But if you don’t take it, then it might have been nice to have one for the trophy room.

    Given the form he's ridden in to he might not need Ganna to let him win!

    As made by Ineos's kit supplier. 'You did ask for the XXXL, Jai?'

    Not bad for a decaffeinated stage after a rest day.

    Wow that was great!

    Watched it on the turbo. Massive heart rate spike for the sprint.

    So, who still thinks it was a bad idea for Hindley to follow TGH and Dennis the other day??? Should he have waited for Kelderman again today :smiley:

    Kelderman's only like 1'32" back isn't he, so if he has a decent TT he could still place well.

    I take it we think Tao is a better TTer than Hindley...

    That celebration cost Tao pink. At least he’ll have less media commitments...

    The clue was in the word “entirely”

    I think he was over a minute quicker in the 34km TT mid-race

    I'm impressed by how badly Ineos bullied Hindley there. Dennis coming back each time, Tao getting up close and personal. No f@cking around there, made sure he knew he was in a race.

    Would the Castelli skinsuit Tao wears for being in white be any different to his normal team Castelli skinsuit?

    I'm sure they will have one fitted up exactly the same by the morning given what's at stake.
