It's a team mate. It's a team sport.

Yep, this. Pog, as well as being an unbelievable rider is a great team leader.

Brad got yellow and gold

Not a fan of the course. I like my TTs to have some flat in them.

Wonder what he'll focus on now? Road and gravel WC coming up, but after that? Tough to give up MTB when you're the best in the world, tough to give up CX completely when you're good enough to win a worlds, tough to stop focussing on Classics when you've won 3, tough to not focus completely on...

Problem is race organisers and teams have sponsorship deals to fulfill. Everybody goes home, sponsors pull out, or make claims, teams fold, cycling dies out.

Gonna lose to Jonas and Almeida. A good result will be time into Hindley and Pellizzari. Note that Pellizzari beat Pidcock by 5s in the Giro - not sure Tom would have been full gas though.

Someone deffo had them as a souvenir. Hopefully not a Barguil fan.

A great rider, great palmares. Can't think of many other riders, as happy to be a leader good enough to win yellow, whilst equally happy to be the best dom in the world - as he was for Froome in the mid 2010s.

Absolute scenes if he did.

Yeah, I expect Jonas to beat the record. Suits him perfectly, so no doubt he'll have Tullett, Kuss and Matteo to drill the bottom part until drafting doesn't matter and it's mano a mano.

One thing's for sure, I wouldn't want to be doing the ITT next week if I was an IPT rider.

Onley confirmed a few weeks back that he and Pidcock would lead GB. No full announcement yet. I suspect Tullett will be a formality. If both Yates boys are there, and in good nick, I'd imagine it could be a very strong team. Probs a couple of rouleurs who can climb a bit too - Wright and Turner...

Team Vine, Team Ayuso or Team Soler for me. Tean UAE to pull in the peloton.

Don't be ridiculous, he was born to an English mother, and lived all his life that he can remember in England. By your rules, most of the peloton wouldn't have a nationality. Awful shout.
