Loved Kelly's commentary today on Ganna..."he doesn't know how to ride slow" lol
It's some skill by Bernal just to try and hang on his wheel !

Soler and Bardet and Martin didn't disappoint in their ability to disappoint!

It's ok Adam; I'm sure Rich will stagger around in the his dark cellar come july to dig out a dusty bottle of vino italiano.

Bernal v anyone who can stay with him. Vlasov? Hope Yates can find something

I still can't remember which Yates brother is which!

I don't even know if they have both won big races, or whether it is just one of them...

That is the crux - not sure anyone can stay with Bernal. I'd like to see Carthy give it a go, it could be his sort o territory, but I'm not convinced he can out gun the little colombian.

Simon has won the Vuelta and white jersey at the Tour, lost the lead in the Giro, has also a track points race world championship gold.

Adam's biggest win is San Sebastian, plus he won white jersey at the Tour and has a slightly scarred chin from an inflatable red kite arch taking him out.

Both have won some one-week stage races.

Flipping heck - my memory is so bad that I ended up forgetting my own mnemonic!

PS But I can still remember that the frame number on my bike stolen from the school bike shed in 1969 was 4867715 - how bloody useless is THAT!
