Such an amazing win from Holmes.
I had no doubt he would do well at the WT level when I heard he’d signed for LS, he’s such a strong, under rated rider. His performance at the ToB last year was astonishing (and the 2018 one TBF)..... he was clearly on a mission to show what he was capable of to other teams with the imminent death of Madison Genesis.
I met him a couple of times over the last two years through the work I was doing with the MG team.... he really is a super nice dude as well. Very humble, and also quite shy, so hope he is managing to cope with being in the spotlight!

Have you seen the finish? He was in the break, but it wasn't as if he was the last man standing, instead the remnants of the break got caught by Porte, who then accelerated again shortly afterwards and Holmes went back across to him and still had enough left to surge past him for the win. Impressive stuff from someone in their first WT race.
