Thomas is 2 mins 26 secs behind.
What does that equate to in a football game?
Four nil down at half time or trailing by one with 15 to go?
He is not really in with a shout of first or second place and will do very well to come third.Quote:

That should be that, barring anything dramatic in the time trial on Saturday.
G looking good for 3rd still.
Amazing sportsmanship by Vingegaard sitting up and waiting for Podagar after he crashed on a decent, worthy champion
chapeau to both him and G amazing performance to finish 3rd at 36 Legend of Welsh sport
Great to see. What a battle it's been between those 2 this year.Quote:

Van Aert should be leading a team as well.Quote:

The difference there was Vin didn't come off.Quote:
