Tao Geoghegan Hart

Prison's too good for him

doh! my poor attempt at a joke has backfired badly

i was trying to intentionally mix up the two meanings of pushing off in cycling, i thought dowsett had held his bike at the start of a tt stage or something

i actually didn't think it was a physical confrontation between riders ( which it may not have been )

and once again doh!

Really looking forward to seeing him in the Vuelta. After his performances this year I think he's going to be much, much more than a domestique, or even a super-domestique.

He's in today's break. Today could be big!

Stage 1 win in tour of the alps!

Fuck yeah!

Herne Hill track league represents.

Brilliant. I don't suppose he's going for the overall with Froome in the race, or is it too early for Froome to be contending?

Hell yeah Tao.

Brilliant!

Stage 1 win in tour of the alps!

At 7 months, that must be one of the longest stages ever. :)

Lol

Second on GC at 27 seconds to Sivakov.

Just seen the last 20k of day 4 tour of the alps. Most excellent.

Elbows out!

Watched Stage 1 last night. Pat on the back for whoever did the finish line recce :)
Nailed it.

PCS says he, Sivakov and Sosa are at the Giro (presumably) in support of Bernal.

I would be quite excited normally but it’s the product of financial doping backed by fracking*.

• this is not entirely serious.
  

Discounted by avoiding UK taxes through Monaco residency.

So, Sivakov held on to the lead and Tao remained in second, 27 seconds down.
