Bardet good time"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

Yates looks like he has put 15 to 20 secs into all the GC guys"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.

So, Yates wins his second ever TT and MvDP retains the maglia rosa by some margin.
Both are upbeat.
In contrast, we get third placed Tom Dumoulin, giving an interview that oozes misery."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Cracking TT stage that!0

TD may come good in the third ...either that or he just dies in the second with a lack of Kms in his legs"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.

I didn't realise Marco Pinotti was working with Team BikeExchange-Jayco now. Might be part of the reason behind Yates' success today.

If we follow the @rick_chasey theory a good prologue means a good overall three weeks. I don't agree with the theory, but Yates does look good.0

To be the fastest guy on the flat is kinda special ..hard to understand how that's possible . I had him down to be the best of the climber GC guys but not win .TheBigBean said:If we follow the @rick_chasey theory a good prologue means a good overall three weeks.

It’s the GC he wants the most. It’s the one he goes all in for, and obviously the one he has history with. I’m not surprised by that performance at all. Game on.0

Point of interest today. Riders finishing their TT’s and no staff about, riding through the crowds, getting changed on busy pavements.
Ineos had booked rooms at the Buda Castle Hotel. Van outside for bikes, riders straight in for showers etc …. literally at the finish line.2020/2021/2022 Metric Century Challenge Winner0 -

You must applaud the management for that level of detail.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

ES Producer - Sean, we've really got to big up tue action today, lots of energy and excitement right?
Sean - sure sure, bring de craic, I'll do me best so...
We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Kelly sends me to sleep. Someone needs to slip him some coke or adrenaline.
Are him and CK supposed to balance out? Doesn't work. CK needs some downers. 😉The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

No one should be surprised at Yates’s TT - his Paris Nice TT was brilliant (5th: and check out those in front of him) - then he used that prowess to seriously trouble Roglic and WVA on final stage…

Yeah he has been constantly improving and has had increasing good results.
Gratuitous self quoting from the pre race thread:m.r.m. said:Love the Yates odds. Think he is stronger than Carapaz, but Carapaz has the better team. If there were more TT km's, I'd pick Yates. I wouldn't bet it, because while the odds are good, I don't think he will win.
