Sorry, I was referring to the arm waving.

And she also waives arms to herself when it’s her turn to do the dishes?

Quoting Jeremy Clarkson "Could Be Worse" as there are many Venomous snakes in Australia.

Yeah, but they don't really hop around, or fly, do they...

Copy Pasted your response

This is true but riders do end up off the road in the TDU where such things could, though unlikely, happen.

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't call it a hat-trick by Remco... the first one was a TTT...

Fair point, the team should be credited, although without Remco RBH wouldn't have win the TTT.

Maybe with Rogla

Rogla is doing TA it's way too early for him, he is eager but not that eager.

But RBH could've won the TTT without Remco, if Rogla would race instead.

@AmRacer

IMHO Rogla hasn't even shaved yet it's just not a thing ATM. TA and then slowly building up towards Vuelta, hopefully one massive win after another, to keep the momentum. RBH likely already is No.2 team now and it's only appropriate for leaders to share some burden.

You don't trust Rogla could've powered the team to victory.

Rogla trusted Remco so no real worries involved, they are a confident team now with enough depth to win a lot. And besides Rogla is scheduled to perform a bit latter in the season, mostly for stage racing, so no real need to focus on him so much ATM. Relax, we will get some Rogla rather soon-ish, don't be so impatient!

Without the team, Remco wouldn't have won the TTT.
He would have won an ITT, which is not a TTT.

Without the team Remco likely wouldn't have won the other two either. It's a team sport on where you get nowhere without a good team and yet in the end individual quality and result is praised and acknowledged the most. That is on why in this sport it doesn't really matter on who finished behind top 10, TV doesn't show that at all.
