    All his experience there, he had the key wheel of Milan but took the chance to follow when Gaviria went early and no-one else reacted in time.

    Amazing!

    Ineos picked it up pretty early on when you look back.

    Well that was just a bit good eh? As I said in the Cav thread, he's the only rider who's made me jump up and down in front of the TV and did it again today. Great to see the brits helping him out! 😅

    He got carried to the front end well .....MILAN was nowhere ...sat up . I think he had to move up from a long way back after G pulled?

    And with G helping that is simply awesome.

    I genuinely had goosebumps when Thomas called LLS onto his wheel. Absolute class act.

    I'm fairly sure there was a fist bump on the corner when G dropped off.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Perfect teamwork that leaves the sprinter up front not on the limit or in the wind so they can have the luxury to access the situation while everyone else is close to the limit .
