Australia has 3 out of the 4 jerseys.
O’Connor has the red, Vine with the mountain and Groves with the points.
I’m sure Vine and Groves would have wanted to get those in better circumstances.

Last time we had 3 in jerseys at one time was the Giro 2010 had Evans in yellow, Matt Lloyd in dots and Richie Port in white.

Jayco signs Hellmose who was in the WT in 22/23. He’s a climber who i think is better than Porter and Pena and probably better than Berhe.

Watched the Tour of Britain where Jayco’s news signing Donaldson sprinted to an impressive third in a bunch sprint. It augurs well for the future.

Schmid has been so unlucky not to win a stage in the Vuelta. Anyway, he can do a good ITT in stage 21. Roglic puts on a masterclass today and leads GC by nearly 2 minutes.

Jayco has two one day races on Sunday in Germany and Belgium. Ewan will lead the team in germany and should get over the punchy finale, however, he’s up against a hot sprint field. Walscheid will lead the team in belgium in a classics style course. Feel that foldager and O’brien should be in the Belgium race to gain experience. Finally, Jayco have 2 stagiares. Pavel Novak a 19 year old who has some good results in hilly races and journeyman Alistair Mckellar who spent three years on the Israel Dev team and this year on Axeon Dev team.
