Criterium International (Spoiler)

Froome, Porte, Kiryenka, Siutsou - a strong Sky team and good practice for the TdF in Corsica.
Bos took the first day sprint - he's winning a few more these days.

Richie Porte takes the ITT by 1 second. Froome 2 secs back.
Interestingly, Cadel was way down as was, less surprisingly, Andy Schleck.
Ian Boswell was a DNS after a pretty poor first day. I don't know if he had a problem or is just finding the pro tour tough. His pro tour debut wasn't brilliant but he has time on his side.

Remember the good old days when Jens used to win by default?

I was amused to see that Bob Jungels rides for RS Leopard. Carry on.

Evans looks to have thrown in the towel on this one already.

Kiryienka... what a brute of a rider.

Kiryienka... what a brute of a rider.

Good gurning, not quite on the Voeckler scale but not bad.

Froome looked like he was riding for Porte then but has just gone off the front. Nice move!

Very nice attack from Froome, Peraud was clearly not going or not capable of helping.

 

[jifdave]

must be hard for porte, looks like he has legs but doesnt wanna drag anyone back to froome

 

[smutchin]

Wow... he's totally owning this. Gap getting bigger and bigger.
