Dylan van Baarle: "I'm not asthmatic but Sky give me salbutamol. It's helps me after long efforts". 
Good job Sky, let's use doping

Basically three men will start and after their turn they will hand over to three women. Fastest combined time wins.

This is, in no way at all, anything close to normal  Two and a half minutes in a 15km climb time trial

Not bad  

 

By the way, look at Remco Evenepoel...he started cycling last year after being done with football and is completely, utterly destroying absolutely everyone in his age

Anyone sort of following the Giro Rosa? There's this lady, Eider Merino Cortazar....a good climber, but she is like 23 centimeters tall and weights 6kg or something, yet is riding on a full 'adult' bike...it's quite the sight really

In the men's junior road race Evenepoel is showing his insane domination again. Went on the attack in the first lap, only Carlos Rodriguez could sort of follow and even though the entire Italian team was giving it their all in front of the peloton, Evenepoel took a minute of advantage already.

 

Spoiler

 

Two and a half hours later and Evenepoel is in the lead alone.....5:30 minutes ahead of anyone else 

[heywoodu 16,004]

Evenepoel has increased his lead to 8 minutes, the peloton is now 15 minutes behind 

 

A photo has emerged from early in the race and it's a very rare one: Evenepoel with riders in his wheel..
