His story is he’s Dutch or Belgian or something.

He’s one of our own

He’s a proper Tipp sprinter. Born in Belgium which he left when he was 2/3 to Tipp parents

Exactly.

He’s Waterford.

Isn’t he from the same town as Sean Kelly? Carrick on suir.

Tough weekend ahead including the Zoncolan climb. Quite a few will pull out.

Tipperary

His auld lad was a professional footballer out in Belgium when he was born and came back to Carrick to manage Waterford Utd

Someone will have to ask him whether he’s Waterford or Tipp at some stage as I’ve seen both reported over the last week or so

Iv always hears of him referred to as waherfurh anyway

It’s a weird aul place Carrick. He might live over border but generally he’s referred to as a Tipp man

Bennett is like Kelly, from Waterford

A doper?

Once he started winning

There are no winners in Waterford mate

Interesting stage. Zoncolan is brutal. Power meters should be banned.

If you don’t have the legs it makes no difference.

Froome wins from Yates. Absolutely savage climb. Dumoulin only lost thirty seconds though so he should be well placed to take the lead in the TT on Tuesday.

that 4 sec when Yates let Chavez take the stage win last week could come back to haunt him yet
