Benji Naesen

Sadly, they didn't pick that version, but it could have been a Rampa in Humana, Patrick.

I would have loved to have seen it.

I'm curious to see what the level of Ramirez is when he returns in this race, to be honest.

Yeah, you're right.

yeah for sure and to be honest when i saw the descent first time around in a team time trial it's a bit different than a individual time trial because in a team time trial you can't necessarily adapt to your own tempo you've got to try and follow the team but we're lucky that we did not see any major accidents today which is uh the good outcome here but we usually go straight into the results so i propose we do that the winner of today's team time trial is

Vizmar Lisa bike, they have a time of 32 minutes and 52 seconds, and that is nine seconds faster than net company INEOS.

We'll talk about the dynamic between these two teams as soon as possible, but first I want to continue.

20 seconds behind INEOS, we've got EF, which means that Boudin does keep the yellow jersey after the stage.

Then we have Little Trek, who is 32 seconds behind Visma Lisa Bike.

And then it continues with Red Bull, Decathlon, Movistar, Jayco, UA Team, Emirates and Bahrain.

But on Decathlon, how much time do they lose here?

That is 37 plus eight is 45 seconds to Visma Lisa Bike.

It's not the greatest team time trial by Decathlon, right?

Now, if I look at the specific way they rode it on parkour, it did look like 6S was taking the climbs on pretty notably when it comes to the tempo, where at some point, 6S went to the back of the row and then Holo put his hand out and did the calmer kind of vibe with his hand.

And to me, that looked like Holo was telling 6S to calm down a little bit because he was going too fast at the front.

Did you read the same into that, or am I imagining things?

That was so confusing to me.

Like, on one end, Almeida is not in form here.

We know that already.

Almeida just pulled and dropped.
