• I was thinking the same thing.. but now im thinking is Ben Swift actually just not very good?

    Swift has got massive potential. World Scratch Race Champion, which you don't win without being a very good bunch sprinter, and he's had some decent wins on the road this year too. The SDky train wasn't working for him, it was working to keep Froome out of trouble, so it promptly disappeared when they got to 3k. Yes he looked slow so that could be a form thing, a long season (including a winter of track) and a 3 week race and the legs look to be tired.
