Has anyone seen any TV footage where he hasn't been visable at the front of the bunch this week?

I'm pretty sure such footage doesn't exist, he's been bloody brilliant so far from what I've seen. Cool

He actually looks as though he is slowing down to wait for everyone in some of his lead outs. Agree that he has been brilliant and hope he is given his chance over the next few days as he could get a win as well which would be great to see. They need to feed him a big bag of Welshcakes.

Yesterday when he inadvertantly set Cav up for the win he didn't even get out of his saddle and still finished 5th

I wonder how inadvertent that was? Defending his own chance and giving a countryman a leadout.
