Woah, that was a weird stage 4 
Strange how Swift faded, but cool that Grabovski came 2nd, seems rejuvenated after not doing much last season. Hopefully he'll hang in there GC-wise, he's got a decent TT so I hope for a podium for him at least. 
Congrats to Andrew Tennant, he's going to be a huge talent. I knew I should have pursued him harder during transfer season!

Its not as bad as the joke I made after Kristian House won the british champs. I asked if he was related to Gregory, SN responded by threatening to ban me. |

Yeh, Swift stayed behind Ben Nasser too long and by the time he came charging through it was too late.

Wait, why is the next stage a 12 km road race and the final stage a 40 km time-trial?

Read untals post. Just a mistake in the placing of the tt symbol
