well done Ben Swift, And Downing in Position3

I was concerned a few days ago when he was burned off Cavendish's wheel but he has bounced back. and well done Downing and maybe having a go tomorrow for the win.

Great ride by Ben Swift yesterday. OK it's not a massive race but he's showing his potential nicely. With a few more road miles in his legs I think he'll go even better. I hope he can hang on tomorrow and take the overall. That would be nice.
