Pierre Latour destroyed his opponents to win another jersey.

Road is melting at the UK Nationals.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Ryan Mullen (Trek Segafredo) wins the Irish men’s TT, in what might be the single most predictable nats result in the sport. They might as well just award him the jersey and go for a pint in the sunshine instead of bothering to hold the race.

I had that today on my ride around central Scotland....this weather is melting me

 

[MatParker117]

Despite the road slowly dissolving, G takes it.

 

[King Of The Wolds]

Young Harry Tanfield got within 30 odd seconds of a prime form G. Not many will do that in the TdF ITT in a few weeks time. Beat Dowsett too. Some WT teams will have taken note of that.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Still haven’t seen the actual times in Ireland, but Mullen said on Twitter that he botched his pacing in the current heatwave. He still caught the second place finisher. This is the problem with small countries - if there’s one genuinely good competitor there’s no competition at all. Mullen will win this every year he turns up with any kind of form until he retires.

That’s a good ride. How is he at road racing? It’s tough to get a WT ride purely as a TTist these days.

Jungels wins the Luxembourg TT.

Alternative; Mullen has to chug a pint before rolling down the ramp.

It was a three-in-a-row kinda day in Denmark, first Uttrup for the women (ahead of Mathiesen and Langvad), then Toft Madsen for the men (ahead of Bjerg and Quaade).

And I got really confused when I saw "Tanfield" in second among the British elite TT, having already seen the result for the U23 race...

Re:

That's impressive. The rest of the top-10 withing 1.5 minute of each other, and Latour almost 2.5 minutes ahead of 2nd.

When interviewed after on podium he said he nearly lost it on corner was more careful after that, though I doubt G would have pushed it through the tighter corners

Both Tanfields are going to win a few National TTS though flatter ones will suit better

Not a bad idea.

Anyway, I’ve just seen the times. Mullen won by 2’01” over Marcus Christie with third place 4’15” behind.

Kelly Murphy (Chapter 2) won the women’s TT.

Michael O’Loughlin (Team Wiggins) took the U23 jersey. He would have come second in the elite TT if he’d been eligible, 1’55” behind Mullen. If an U23 wins the RR, he takes both the elite and U23 crowns but for boring technical reasons, those entered in the U23 TT aren’t eligible for elite medals even though they take place on the same course.

Woah, thats pretty damn impressive. Latour might be in for a great Tour!

Gallopin said he was happy as he had won the French Championships in his category.

Yeah, we was going like a motorcycle out there. You dont go that fast without being in some stunning shape, he was good in Dauphine but obviously still a fair amount off top-shape, looks like he has timed it right. He wont win the Tour, but a top-10, a white jersey while simultionously being Bardet's best climbing domestique should be possible for him. In a weird way he reminds me very much of Soler.

 

[RedheadDane]

Hmm... maybe Latour needs to be chugging beer before going down the ramp as well.

 

[b.broadhurst]

Sky racking up TT jerseys.

Kiryienka wins Belarus.

Thomas, Moscon, Van Baarle, Bernal, Castroviejo and Kiryienka all with jerseys.

Sivakova very close in Russia, 14 seconds behind in 2nd.
