Second 22 points behind Viviani but miles ahead of third place.
Viviani won the sprint today from Bennett.
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
