  • Tao's riding this softly-softly to become acclimatised to a GT, isn't he? I mean, being young and all that.

  • Strange how out-of-the-action he's been after his storming about in Cali. Hopefully this is the first of many.

  • The best Sky rider today was 61st. When was the last time they were so out of the GC action in a stage race, never mind a GT? That's got to affect how the team performs, so for Tao I think it's about learning how his body reacts to three weeks of racing.

    It's interesting that Enric Mas is doing so well, him and Tao had a great battle in the Tour de Savoie Mont Blanc two years ago when they were u23 riders. Mas rode the Vuelta last year in his neo-pro season.

    For the record he did some pretty big domestique turns at the front at least in the first few weeks and had some impressive race faces going on. He did attack on one stage too but dropped back later on.
