Dimension Data yesterday, Education First today. Nice to see the underdogs getting some WT wins. After the split was made, Simon Clarke was in complete control of his destiny. He’s still a fast guy for small group sprints so Mollema & De Marchi didn’t stand a chance. #LaVuelta18 pic.twitter.com/GStezte8hi
