    Wout pulled back another 5 or 6" on the climb but around 50" down.

    He's got this with the climb to come.

    Remco -10s at Inter 3, so Ganna pulled back a couple of seconds
  • Cameraman’s not backing down from getting the close ups, is he?

    Ganna -35s. So Tarling was actually a touch faster on the last section

    That's a good podium. Very impressive all of them.

    I thought Smith was getting a bit carried away before Tarling started suggesting he could be in the top 6. Fantastic ride, just need to turn him into a climber now so he can be a GT rider :wink:

    Tarling did the whole thing without a power meter. It was on the bike on the car by mistake

    Remco has some palamares for a rider who I somehow feel hasn't really got started

    The passage of time really sucks.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Impressive performances in the TT’s by Tarling and Wiggins. Some careful nurturing and they’ll hopefully keep improving all round.

    MvdP & UCI Vs the rules is causing problems...



    Evie on board too... 🫢

    Edit: a lot of support across the board tbh. Think they've got a point tbf
    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

  • UCI have messed up, will mean a wholesale rule change from now on you would imagine

    With so many riders multi tasking they need to find a solution to this that doesn't hinder the part time stars who multi task, but also helps the full time riders who specialise

    If the ones who specialise get beaten by the all-rounders despite getting better seeding is there an argument they shouldn’t be getting the better seeding? It’s tricky as they rely purely on MTB (or CX) for their livelihood but they simply aren’t the best in their discipline when all the riders turn up. There must be a fairly simple formula that could take account of performances when they do all meet or do it like F1 and have qualifying.
