Majka looked pretty upset about losing yellow.

15:46:47 PDT
Majka finishes with a time of 29:26. It looks like he has kept the yellow jersey by a very slim margin.


Eh??

Did Tao take best young rider there?

Stronger than Oomen, yes! :surprised:

Never seen anyone so happy as Dibben since Kiriyenka won the WC ITT. :razz:

Re:

Mother of God Bennett. Where did that come from?

Lotto NL have been extremely focussed on ITT ever since 2014.

 

[WheelofGear]

The commentators led by senile Phil were focusing on the Talansky-Majka battle, ignoring Bennett.

His first senior win? Pretty good feeling I imagine.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

George Bennett winning a World Tour course. WTF.

Smart focus by Lotto though

Luckily at Utah there's Frankie Andreu on Fox Sports instead!

That explains it. Im watching with different commentary and they knew exactly what was happening.

You can include Christian VdV in that too, none of them could add the time of the final GC when it was over. Pathetic...

 

[JoeD1997]

Stake Laengen 6th overall, what a result that will be for him if he can get safely through stage 7.

 

[killswitch]

Dibben finally smiles.

 

[Irondan]

Dibben is huge!!!

 

[sir fly]

Quite a turnaround.
Lotto NL Jumbo came to California with agenda. Gesink underperformed, but Bennett was there.
Majka could use some tt exercise.

 

[killswitch]

Will Lotto have a dedicated GC rider for the Tour or only going for stages?

Re:

All it took was being kissed by two beautiful women.

Lest we forget at #10 on the GC battle: the stealth ninja himself, Mr. Haimar Zubeldia.

Did anyone get a chance to see him?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Majka is really bad in a flat TT.

LOL. Complete invisibility maintained. It is an art.
