  It’s not often a win gets a round of applause in our house (and we watch a lot of racing). I rewound the Giro to watch the last 35k. Awesome. Although it’s been looking on the cards for a few stages now. He looks so in control.

  Ineos well represented on climb at 17k. I can see 4 including SwiftyBenSwift and Tao who is setting up Swift.

  Error it wasn't Swift on Tao's wheel.
