2025 Races with Spoilers.

Ben Swift in 5th. He's due for his bus pass soon too

The cream of Ineos....😁

Welsford does it again on S2. He did similar last year at thge TDU, if I remember correctly.

Can he he do it in Europe though?

 

[Adam4868]

Danny Van Poppel was relegated and gets Yellow Card....for his deviation in the sprint.
To be fair Lund did look like he was closing to Welsford and DVP didn't really hide his blocking !
GC day tommorow 😁

Next thing you know, Ineos will have a GC contender and a sprinter!
Well, one out of two, anyway...

Never really thought of them as a sprint team...even with Viviani they didn't do much.
I'm guessing there thinking at least Calebs a chance of scoring some points for them...he has hasn't he 🤣

Never really helped Cav apart from Wiggo doing that turn on the Champs Elysee,

He won at least one other Tour stage with them https://news.sky.com/story/team-sky...the-18th-stage-of-the-tour-de-france-10475253 . Pretty sure that in Wiggo's book he said that on non-GC days (Stage 18?) they rode for Cav. Of course that wasn't very often!!! And I suspect a feeble leadout ...

Left his contract early and said it was a mistake ever joining Sky...unlike Cav to be so blunt 🙄

haha!
Yeah, it clearly wasn't his best team choice from a Winning Sprints POV! I seem to recall he wasn't actually ... unhappy with the team, because he knew they were focused on GC (or maybe he was just being nice about his Brit mates. Dunno.)
Anyway, my point was that despite being GC-focused they weren't actually a terrible team to be sprinting for. With lots of big engines in the team they are going to give Caleb more help than a Q365-or-whoever, and have massive backup resources. And possibly quite a few luncheon vouchers ...

For me he's far too small to be doing a lead out for Ganna....but I guess we'll have the wait and see 😁
