Has anyone calculated how far he’d be in the pink if he’d ridden in with the leaders that day?

Kelderman surprised

About 1m 40.
Also probably more time saved if he had gone into the first TT as a GC contender.

Awkward...
Meanwhile, Tao has finished his warm down, and having a well deserved snooze.

I wonder if this might spur Kelderman on. Pretty good ride considering how bad it was looking at times.

Well he was c 2 minutes behind WK and 1 behind JH.
So... who knows.
He possibly would’ve been more marked through the rest of the race.

kelderman not leaving the team next year? DS probably whispering "fuck him" in hindley's ear

esteban chaves has a mechanical on the final climb and has to switch to a far-too-big bike at the vuelta.

Yeh is comical

Lets see how Froome does in shredding the peloton! (if at all)

horrific gurning there

Did you hammer it into the frozen ice cream of Betancur he was delivering to Bernal?

FTFY

Surely Dan Martin on the forum as well?

There are WUMs in almost every thread on here. Believe me - this is one of the less annoying ‘jokes’.

I bet @hippy is worried.

I think Grand Tour winner outranks 24hr World Champion....

Hm, Ben O'Connor's an hour behind in the young rider classification, might be a good time to put some money on him to win the white jersey.

This was proper racing, i.e. track league, not the novelty stuff at weekends.

The helmets that Israel Start Up are wearing look like they cost £24.99. Terrible.

Well, I wouldn't exactly call Clive a 'novelty'.

Bike racing? I thought I was revered on here for my stunningly good looks?

I need to get back to watching today's stage in Welsh. Someone getting a 4x4 bonus I feel...

Finally. Yes! This has gone completely unchecked.

It’s the rather expensive Giro Vanquish I think. Looks even worse with the aero visor.

I own one.

So Kelderman is rocking and you’ve a man on the podium at the front of the race. You tell him to drop back to tow him across but it turns out Kelderman can’t be helped so Hindley has dropped back and now has to ride back to Tao on the final climb to recover his place. Tao ends up in pink with a forty or so second lead...
