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

Yet again I think he could have won the stage if he was ignoring GC

I think he would’ve won the stage if he had ridden the last 5 km as fast a possible (riding more for GC!), and not played games with stop and go.

Healy is awarded most combative rider for the tour.
I think I heard that right.

And to celebrate pretty much does nothing on the final stage....I had hopes for you on this stage, Ben.

A medal at Worlds, to go with a TdF stage win and GC top 10 and a few days in yellow. And a stage at Itzulia, too. It’s been a big year for Ben.

He needs a classic win, and a Vuelta stage. He can probably get a GC podium in one of the GTs if he picks the right one in the right year.

If it wasn’t for Pogacar winning all the big races without giving anyone else a look-in, Healy would be battling it out with the likes of Pidcock, Skjelmose, Ciccone, Vauquelin in some seriously exciting races.

Maybe Pogi skip Strade next year.

Maybe Pogi skip Strade next year.

I wonder if he might skip Flèche and Amstel. Would be great to see someone like Healy take a win in one of them.

I once fractured my sacrum in a fall during a bike race. I continued to ride for a few days after, while the pain was building, until I could no longer continue. The worst was that it took like 4-6 weeks before I was pain free and could resume normal riding again. The problem, of course, is that you sit right on it in the saddle and there is no therapy whatsoever except rest.
