Remember that this is Algarve.

Plus or minus a few seconds really means nothing, Tony is right where he needs to be.
However, I did just fire Lulu. Maybe I will regret it, but with Paris-Nice presumably a major target for him, he should be testing himself here, and he should not be a minute off the pace in a 30-minute TT.

Nice to see Tejay and Talansky doing well.

I can understand that.

I can see them underperforming (relative to their price) and being better value next year.
