I read about him but unfortunately, the commenters (Sporza) didn't talk about him while he was crossing the finish. He did around 45K/hr, and while the winning times will probably be over 52K/hr, I salute him for his courage, and I don't think I would do better (I'm worth 42-43K/hr in a flat TT).

Thomas with a bit of rain what could go wrong

 

[Lequack]

I remember in last year's TT when Dennis overtook Roglic and Roglic then tried to beat him to the line

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

I'm impressed by Walscheid. Beating McNulty, Roche or Bodnar with such ease is no small feat.

[BlueRoads]

Walscheid's time looks better and better.

Danish commentators saying you have to beat him to make the top 10.

the bag is top 20

Affini the best by 25 seconds, was wondering who the young man rode for "Signed for Jumbo Visma".

Their roster is absolutely stacked.

A small number of teams are hoovering up the talents. And it’s only going to get worse.

 

[Bardamu]

Oh boy Victor what are you doing

 

[Jagartrott]

Oh boy Victor what are you doing

I think they didn't let go of his bike?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

A couple of years ago Ryan Mullen was a potential next big thing in this discipline. A couple of years ago.

Thomas flying

Thomas' form is pretty impressive.

 

[RedheadDane]

Hmmm... is it just me, or did Thomas' spare bike look like it wasn't quite secured properly?
