oopsJosé Bean is a terrible commentator and the guy commentating with her today, isnt much better.
If she doesn't know, there is no pretence involved.Can José Been stop pretending like Gregoire doesn't have an insane downhill. Shé has no idea who he is.
Nice catch by Van Gills on the descent. Am assuming he's the fastest finisher of the three?
Tronchon heading for his fourth top ten in as many races. His only other one since turning pro was two years ago at Burgos. Those Van Rysels are something else?
To clarify, am not suggesting mechanical doping etc

Somewhat surprising.Skjelmose gone...
Thank you. And of course in his case, it could just be a rider spending his first year mostly learning, before beginning to fulfil his potential.They also just invested a lot in their performance stuff (finally), they are finally doiung altitdude camp with most riders for example. I'm already assuming they are just in really good form early, they needed points quickly so it was probably calculated.
But yes, the bike is probably also better than what they had previously
Somewhat surprising.
Gone as in solo away or dropped?
Especially since i rate him better as a hilly climber than a mountain climber.Same as yesterday it's weird. He has a super strong initial attack but then some hills later he's struggling. Yesterday at least he was able to hold on but it's weird.
