Jesus 19 year old wunderkind Seixas just wiped the floor with everyone. He's certainly got my attention, Del Toro. (Ayuso 38th), Roglic (4th), even Mountain TT specialists like Grosschartner (3rd) all beaten. Kevin Vauquelin INEOS's other big hope, came second, but a disaster for Del Toro 51 seconds off the pace & 13th. Young American I hadn't heard of with INEOS called Andrew August? came 7th with a storming ride. I think INEOS just pick young riders by their TT prowess!Interesting preview of the 6-day Itzulia Basque Country, which starts today with a brutal ITT around Bilbao. Pog and Jonas won't be there, but many other heavy hitters on the roster — many with important histories with this race.

Quite a performance by Seixas! Lucky us, with 5 more days of GC-biased racing to see how this all plays out.
I like that commentator in your clip— a very unique style. Know his name?
Carlton Kirby - long term mainstay of Eurosport, now TNT/Discovery. been there for 20 years or so I'd guess. Gets a lot of slagging from younger viewers for his kind of waffling style. it can be unintentionally funny actually, but he's been doing it so long that the nature of doing hours of non stop commentary probably leads to a kind of stream of consciousness!
Some long boring stages off TdF he goes VERY surreal!
