Have Specialized designed a snood to work with the new helmets?

edit Indeed they have. Ears aren't aero.

All these Specialized sponsored riders using this new helmet looks like mediaeval nuns.

Hard for wout, or his team. They need him for the whole tour, so cant take risks today. But he will want the jersey.
Tough call!

Sprint lanes after the finish line…

My guy!!!

wtf this is bonkers

As a wout fan, so happy to see that. So deserved.

Reckon Pog eased off to hold off yellow for a bit?!

And Carlton turns up. "I feel like I've just arrived at the babrbqie and all the sausages are gone". "I think there may be some snacks left but we've had the feast"

Goodbye gcn.

Can you imagine Cavendish’s reaction if he’d been told he had to wear the aero snood and rock the medieval nun look?

I think that might be the real explanation behind his absence from the Tour.

what was with the lenses on ganna's tt helmet?

Robbie no!

haha! "dont want to jinx him"

That is the quickest jinx ever deployed

Ned Boulting said exactly the same thing on ITV at more or less the same moment. Laporte caught in a commentators' curse pincer movement.

Wout had a face like a smacked arse as Lampaert crossed the line then.
