Enjoyed that! The Stelvio stage was epic, very impressed by Ineos and Sunweb. Anyone know where the name Tao comes from?

Taoism is a pretty old Chinese philosophical way of living. Tao means way.

They did half of it on the team bus.

Chapeau Tao ! Hindley aswell 😁
Been a great Giro,after the Tour and the drama could we have had a better late season of cycling.

And to round things off, the Vuelta's getting pretty spicy too!

Ive been trying to that out. He does have roots in Scotland - but no idea where the rest of his name hails from

Wiggins seems very emotional in commentary

What else did you expect him to to do? That’s exactly what cycling is about, and you got the reverse of the medal two days later.

I didn't know that, I missed yesterdays stage completely. I take my comment back.

7 stages and the maglia rosa and that after their team leader crashed out!

Talk about plucking victory from the jaws of defeat!

 

[Dave Davenport]

Dave B was just a bit chuffed wasn't he.

In this case Tao is supposedly from the Irish gaelic for Tom, his father's name

I'm from Scotland and can confirm - haven't met anyone called Tao before.

That Ineos team who you like to try and trash their tactics seem to have done a ok job don't you think ? Would you care to admit your WRONG sometimes ? Happens to the best of us 😁

I'll admit I was wrong... when I'm wrong! I agree with Lizzie Banks: it would have been nice to see an attack off the front decide the GC race, not only grinding out results under the wheels of a mountain train. There have been good individual displays but the team performance has been the equivalent of hopeful long balls hoofed upfield and then parking the bus in front of the goal. Zzz.

Good win by TGH and congratulations to him nonetheless, as well as well done to Hindley and Almeida on their breakthroughs.
