It wouldn't surprise me anymore if Yates wins the **** time trial at this point
He's not as good as his brother.
While he does have history in that area, I haven't seen anything too over the top here.lartiste said:Yates - there is no other explanation, than that his performance is fueled by clinic stuff ... .

DFA123 said:He put in a bluff attack, got pulled back and then put in another attack opening up 10 seconds almost instantly. Very impressive.webvan said:Darn, missed the attack. Did Yates just take off and Froome went backwards?
In any case Yates is very impressive! Old style cycling, not quite out of nowhere but it's still a big surprise.
Froome was carelessly dropped on the descent before.
He's missing his Dutch cabal of Kruijswijk and Mollema (+ Jungels) to bail him out this year.Waterloo Sunrise said:Tom telling people to ride the cheeky ****
