Not a bad effort today. He must be kicking himself.... a few seconds would have moved him up a few GC places. Still, his first crack as team leader ... rather let down by the team.

He's been impressive, of course, but it's very far from Poels levels of peloton shredding.Yeah, his performance in this race is vastly overrated. He couldn't close in on the break yesterday, and it's the same today. The fact that Bardet et.al. are quite a bit off peak form makes him look good in relation to the favourites' group.
Yes very impressive.silvergrenade said:He's ridden an amazing dauphine.
Chapeau!
Danish commentators almost sure he should be selected, forgetting about Poels and Bernal who are clearly superior climbers.Squire said:I'll repost what I said in the Dauphiné thread:

He’d be crazy to leave at the moment.yaco said:My guess is a few teams will give him tempting offers to change teams - Though I doubt it will happen.

Yes it looks that way, hopefully he can continue this form into next month. His form tailed off after decent showings in Cali and the Dauphine last year.armchairclimber said:Two wins this week and out-sprinting Nibs today, he seems to have progressed somewhat.
I don't think so. At least not with López still in the race.MatParker117 said:White Jersey a realistic goal for the Giro?
