If Yates can keep it together until next weekend, it would be the first year since 1964 that all three GTs have been won by riders of the same nationality (Poulidor won the Vuelta, Anquetil the Giro and Tour).
I was thinking similar .. except this will be 3 different UK riders!
But I'm not betting my house on Yates yet. It still seems a very open race at this stage.
[and who knew his brother was in this race?? He's been completely invisible, even ITV4 didn't mention him for at least 10 stages. Weren't they rated as much the same potential just a year-or-two ago? I'm beginning to think MTS got a poor two-for-one deal there
Still, a GT win and maybe they won't care! ]
