All the GC stuff aside that was one hell of a ride from King. Bravo for holding on.

Re:

Ion is also in mix for red with Yates and Bala

And Kelderman would be too if not for his shitty puncture. Ffs

 

[ice&fire]

Yates confirmed in red 1s ahead of Bala

 

[GuyIncognito]

Brilliant first week there, King

 

[RattaKuningas]

Anyone has Kwiatkowski loss?

EDIT: Noticed now. He lost 2 min to other GC riders like Quintana.

Re:

Kwiatkowski not a GC rider. Whoda thunk it eh

He's not a nobody, long pedigree, Sky can't transform him apparently.
You need those asthmatic nobodies you know... :lol:

Yesterdya you said he's tsill in the mix. Now you say different

2 weeks, decent TT. If he's as fresh as you say he can win it still

It's the least time he's ever lost on this climb.
He's always bad here and always good on Covadonga

give it up. Gc riding gt is done

 

[The Chicken]

**** TV coverage at the end there - there was a GC punch-up but they didn't show it! ****!

 

[Laplaz]

Do you agree that it is Quintana vs. MAL now?

 

[hrotha]

That was dreadful.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Great duel between King and Mollema. Some fine dramatic racing right there.
GC battle was just dull.

Congrats to King (for two days).
