Ben Healy is not another Benny Hill but excels in hilly terrain

Hey, don’t forget Oier Lazkano

Congrat's to Ben Healy. I noticed He lost time in stages and It made Me think He was creating a situation where He could do a raid. And He did.

 

[Potomac]

Tuesday....Bondone...Healy will do it!

between his earrings, long hair, the fact he looks like he should be in an irish folk rock pub band, and riding style, he could be a real cult hero.

it's a shame he rides for EF education - no beef against the team, just a very aesthetically displeasing jersey. Hopefully they change their sponsors soon so they get the nicer look which healy deserves

Agree to disagree there, I think he looks great with the EF colors.

He's been a bit of a rock star in the Giro.

I think p*ssing off the Ineos guys today with those two attacks (especially the one in the feed zone) was hilarious.

It's a great jersey. Both their usual one, and the one they're using in the Giro.
The peloton needs more random colours!

He's one of the reasons why this Giro didn't completely suck. Entertaining ride today as well, never change Ben!

It was fun watching him irritate Pinot this morning.

I need more info about this!!!!!!!!

It was a pointless attack by Healy which added nothing to the race - And then when Pinot bridged he sat up and gave up.

Yes, he's a fighter. He took his shots. I'm becoming a fan of his, he's generous in his effort, he dares, he can do anything, be a factor in any race. Great Giro for Ben.

After winning the Irish national RR in pretty remarkable style, he talked about his program for the rest of the year. Starting with a few weeks break. Then it will be all about one day races in the later season - San Sebastián, Canadian races, Italian races, WC.

Wasn't Remco a footballer back then? I didn't know he had podiumed races in 2016.

I think that juniors race with the podium of three future legends was 2017

And all three just became national champs.

Exciting stage victory for him at the Tour of Slovenia today.

 

[Bolder]

He basically rode a 45 k ITT

 

[CyclistAbi]

Great racing today and congrats on the stage win.

Impressive yesterday. Was in the final ~13-14 guys up the Galibier and dropped at the same time as Thomas... and only just a few hundred metres before Mas and Jorgenson.

Would never have thought that before the Tour.

He rode with Carapaz to the finish. Presumably he might have finished higher if not for supporting Carapaz.

He's getting kinda good on long climbs. Maybe that's his future given that his lack of explosiveness makes it hard for him to win on courses with shorter climbs against strong opposition?
