Eddie Dunbar 4th. Fantastic stuff.

Not too shabby out of Dunbar in the end either

They're great graphics, never saw them before. Day after the first TT looks made for a breakaway, Healy will be going all out to get in the break. Hadn't realised there's a mountain TT, or I just forgot, it's so long since they announced the route.

Jeepydamus, I believe?

LOL, chapeau to the jeepers lad. In fairness, I gave it the "break from the break" prediction quit early today - but your prediction beats that jeepersY
Now, next question - did you have a few bob on him?

Fuckit, missed it, work is the curse of the armchair follower.
Chapeau Ben.

Was the stage a bit LBL-y lads?

Bwana, it had a bit of the rolling profile alright but for me the big thing was the Pelotón (also known as Pog and Jonas) deciding not to fight the break . For quite a while the gap was under a minute. Fair fux to the boys for keeping it going.

I’d say you’re safe a while JBSy - RTÉ, always a good barometer of how much of a clue the Irish sporting public have/ don’t have made sure to refer to Ben as “Ireland’s Ben Healy” in their headline. They’ll also now diligently report on how very far off the overall GC lead he is each day.
They’d have had far more articles about Ben Healy the rogger player than Ben Healy the World-class cyclist.
