I'm fine with an ITT, but nobody needs a TTT in an u23 race with national teams from all around the world...

The worst part is that they put it basically every year these days. Meanwhile a decent-length ITT never happens anymore, as much as the discipline has declined it's still far more relevant to modern-day racing than the TTT, and that's before factoring in the national teams.Putting a TTT in this race is beyond stupid, what's the point?

Absolutely *** if you ask me..: it makes no sense to put a TTT anymore… would love to ear some kind of explanation from the race director about itThe worst part is that they put it basically every year these days.

So is Ayuso in the second group or in the peloton?
Van Den Berg wins!
Ayuso 2nd group I think, Ardila peloton.
The Netherlands keep on winning
Belgium 2nd and 3rd with De Lie and Van Tricht.
Van Den Berg wins!
And Van Dijke was 4th. Is that Ben Healy in 5th?
Now Lars just needs to win tomorrow, and the Van Den Berg hattrick will be complete!
Not sure, I thnk Healy is a bit smaller, could be the other guy from Ireland.
I'd much rather put my money on Marijn winning again though.
I forgot there were two of them, I just wasn't sure if that was the Irish kit.
Johanessen definitely did a really good job for the GC today, being the only GC guy in the first group. The Dutch guys are far ahead but they're irrelevant for GC.
He wants a call from a WT team
