2018 AMGEN Tour of California

[nochain]

So Tj in the lead..I like Bernal but would not mind Tj taking the win.Feel for the guy and he probably needs thus win more than the rest.

Best thing is my man Tao...really showing good progress..have been watching him for the last 2 years and I am a fan for sure..love his attitude and fight.Man is still a kid but watch out gor him..he can climb and TT

Yip, Tao really impressed me as well.... he turned himself inside out for Bernal during stage 2 and has a lot of heart like you said..... good to see him having such a strong ride during the ITT.

 

Egan Bernal, at 21 years of age, is a superstar in the making and if he can improve his time trial skills on the flats he might soon be a serious challenger to win a grand tour. 

 

Tomorrow's stage should be decisive with TJ, Bernal, Adam Yates and Rafal  Majka probably the favourites ( I think Tao will sacrifice himself for Bernal).

Have a look at this..last year hammer series.

To put some context..Tao was really smashed in this race because day 1 he was their man in the break..day 2 he had to do lots of the chasing for their sprinter and then this all-out effort.

What is important is that last moment when he drops..have a look at what happens when the 3 Sunweb riders try and pass him..absolute refusal..there is something about the guys that can make themselves hurt that much but also completely refuses to give up.

Froome and Contodor has that...Quintana not so much.

This kids I think has got it...lets see

That was indeed a mighty effort...was even painful to see the pain of it on his face afterwards.. lets hope he does well in future.

Indeed, he is on roll and seems unstoppable...it was a pity though that Cavendish and Kittel could not compete in the final sprint though due too bad luck near the end of the stage..... i was really looking forward to see Gaviria, Caleb, Sagan, Kittel and Cavendish all having a proper go at each other.

Such a great series. Lekker to watch.

Love this race but have to record it and watch it after the Giro.  When I watch both my dyslexia hits and I don't know who is riding where.

Peerless ride by Egan Bernal to basically wrap up the race.

He was very well supported by his team - especially Tao 

Poor TJ never really had a hope with the two softening him up nicely before Egan launched the final attack.

Katusha, Kittel??[emoji848].. What the hell are they doing in the sprints????‍♀️

 

Great bike throw from Gaviria.

That was close - but where have all those other big boys been?

 

 

 

Changing of the guard for sure. Sprinters have short shelf live.

 

Did you see the kok up with the green jersey?  it wasn't his
