He's ****ed

 

[Bushman]

clever move By Yates !

Except he dropped his brother and is now isolated with three sky riders

 

[MatParker117]

Sky are beating him to death.

Not ideal but doubt he'd (Adam) have the legs anyway, he's having a little rest after all his early season exploits.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Simon Yates in a bad position, 4 Sky riders vs him.

Agreed but there are no team orders. The 4 Sky riders are surely all out to win it themselves?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Odds are improving. Very good ride regardless to last this long 4 on 1.

 

[Twenty-Nem]

WHo are the 4 Sky ?

 

[Pricey_sky]

Great riding from Simon, he's broke 2 Sky riders just Kennaugh and Swift left. It would be great for Simon Yates to win but I like Kennaugh and Swifty too!

 

[SafeBet]

Edmondson and Rowe gone. Yeates got a chance after all.

 

[trevim]

I wouldn't doubt Sky's ability to lose this against Yates. Swift can probably manage to get boxed in a 4 men sprint and as for others I don't have much faith either.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Nice attack from Kennaugh, can Yates respond?

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Norway

Surprise winner here:

1 Tormod Hausken Jacobsen (Baltic House Ridley)
2 Philip Eidsheim (Team Fixit.no)
3 Odd Christian Eiking (Team Joker)

 

[MatParker117]

Think Simon is done.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Think Simon is done.

Still making a go of it

 

[MatParker117]

Still making a go of it

Credit to him but Kennaugh and Swift will just go again as soon as he gets back on.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Kennaugh and Swift have 23 secs on Yates now. Between these two surely for the win. Hope Simon can hold onto 3rd.

Nice beard.

Bell Lap at UK Nationals.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

last lap 7.2km to go,

Between Swift and Kennaugh

 

[MatParker117]

Bronze for Simon

 

[Pricey_sky]

Kennaugh attacking twice but Swift isn't being broken. He's surely favourite now.

 

[Afrank]

Sh*t

Frank wins, Andy third.


so no need to hope for anything from Andy in TdF

How come? 3rd is a good result.

Maybe a Lux native can tell us how the final played out. Christian?

 

[murali]

whts the latest gap to S Yates?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Apparently Mullen does get to be the Irish elite champion in the road race as well as U23 champ. Why he can be both in the RR but only gets the u23 title in the TT remains one of life's little mysteries. Anyway, he attacked the lead group with about 25 km to go, and soloed home more than a minute clear.

It will be interesting to see how he does at the U23 TT worlds. And it will also be interesting to see if he is with An Post next year.
