Really enjoyed watching him, great to see someone in their first Tour so clearly enjoying themselves. Honking out of the saddle to win a sprint against non-existent rivals at the intermediate sprint, and fist pumping and whooping with the crowd on taking the final climb and securing the polka dot jersey.
I think they said on commentary he trains all winter riding fixed too, and doesn't bother with altitude camps, so he does sound his own man and a bit of a throwback. Look forward to seeing more of him.

Ide Schelling, what a character. Had to turn himself completely inside out 3 times before finally getting in the break, wanting to make sure the polka dot jersey remains his for the 1st week
