    Wowww, excellent! Had me out my seat!


    Also we're blessed he won today and not tomorrow so we don't have to hear about "Taco Tuesday"

    Or Wednesday when they finish on the Adriatic.
    Fish Taco.

    Orla is dressed to give the Breakaway boys a good thrashing.

    If only we'd had a commentator prone to terrible puns for today.

    In case it isn't obvious, "f*ck" has become a fairly soft exclamation in Dutch...

    Oh. We did just get "It's not only about Taco Tuesdays" on the wrap up.

    Haha.

    Taco bout a surprise result etc.

    It was always a risk the move was going to fall apart.

    CK would have been along the lines of Taco ringing the bell for the break or similar but rolled out for another 3 or 4 increasingly bad puns afterwards.

    Not sure which bit i enjoyed most - the look on Taco's face when he realised what he was about to do, or the look on the faces of the peloton coming into the last couple of corners as they realised what he was about to do...

    Brings back memories of "it's curtains for Karpets" (can't remember who it was) and a newspaper or Cycling Weekly had something like Hamburger saves Danish Bacon as a headline when Bo won a stage somewhere. Baguet got a few too.

    It could have been worse for the puns. At one point Ponomar was on the attack on the way to Canale

    "Taco was full of beans today." would an obvious Kirbyism
