How bulky is he? Impressive.
Can't wait to see him kick Wiggo's *** in the Giro.

 

[Moreno Moser]

So Westra will probably win the GC.

 

[djlovesyou]

Joshua Edmondson (SKY) 7th on the stage?

That would be a pretty promising result.

so Henaos lesser "brother" a few places behind. Looks like they come as a package.

Yep, very good result for him.

So Westra will probably win the GC.

With Martin finishing 13 seconds behind Westra today, probably not. I wouldn't be surprised if Westra finishes second though

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Stage top 15 result:

edit: redundant post.

 

[jens_attacks]

tony only at 18s. it's in the bag

i wish westra,klodi and menchov could do something about it but i doubt it

good to see poels doing already well

the Russian seems competitive.

You're right. Didn't expect Martin to be this close.

Not really a miracle. A guy with massive potential. Did great things in Giro della Valle d'Aosta where he wasn't at his best even, only one to follow Aru in few mountain stages. Proper climber.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Joshua Who ?!

This doesn't happen often to me, but Sky produced another miracle or?

Young guy who climbed well in the Tour of Britain last year, so Sky got him and worked their magic.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Joshua!!! promising result and I'm happy because he's in my cq team

 

[Museeuw]

And where was the clown from Blanco. What's his name... Wilco or something like that...

ToB is not a result to portray as his only result .. He had impressive results in younger ranks. Lots of promise around him.

 

[Moreno Moser]

Kelderman. Was hoping for a good result for him but seems like he wasn't upfront.

Cool story bro
