There was a skinny college kid in a full BMC kit/BMC bike on our group ride last night and I almost rolled up and asked him whether Tejay could do it. He got dropped hard, I don't know if that means anything.

Sagan is hilarious. At some point today when he was dogging it up the climbs in the yellow jersey the cameraman drove up to him and he got this huge grin and did some mock gesticulation of playing it off.

GVA is the only one in BMC I'm glad to see in yellow, and yet he's someone I never would have guessed to be.

Interesting that he said he maxed out and wish he'd had a bigger gear so all his recent track training has probably paid off! Is that the dimension data 'green' jersey? no wonder i couldn't pick it out Edit: from the graun A fed-up Marcel Kittel: “There is no tactics. It’s impossible to ride with a team like this. I don’t know why the organisers do it like this. It goes wide, narrow, wide again. It’s just pure chaos. You can win here with smart positioning."

Was etix just that poor of a fit for Cav or is more that hes switchd up his regimen?

THE MANX MISSILE HAS SCORED ANOTHER DIRECT HIT. From the overhead shot, you can definitely see when Cav tops out and has to go higher cadence to hold off Kittel.

One cycling podcast theorized that practicing on the track helped with the decision making process and timing of the attack.
