Giro d'Italia *SPOILERS*

I agree RD, those brown shorts and dodgy jerseys are a disgrace!

..but yes, ex-mtb-er if that makes a difference?

They wear brown shorts for good reason

 

[yello]

It shows off their cyclists' tans? Enhances their eye colour? Makes their wangers look big? I think we should be told.

Surely Cav's for the taking today. I'm not sure I've seen a flatter GT stage. But the big (well for the sprinters anyway) question is who will still be riding tomorrow?

Lazy day today. According to cyclingnews so far - 25mph average!

Even I (on my tourbike!) could probably manage that in a peleton for 3 hours. assuming that for once I don't have to stop for traffic lights.

Cav did it again

Another well worked HTC train to get Cav the win.

Cav's peaking just right for the Tour. Apollonio looked good getting second. Superb Renshaw.

True and a huge pull by Lars Bak too. He said after that it was easy but for a second or two I thought Apollonio was going to catch him.
2-1 to Cav then and he can go home now!

What a well organised outfit. When you've a team working for you as well as that, I can only imagine it makes your life a lot easier as a sprinter.

Sky looked very organised on the two flat stages across the pond... TdF could get interesting, if Sky go for stage wins instead of GC, they seem to have several good potentials to challenge if things don't go quite right for HTC.

Sky surely must go for stage wins, they don't have a genuine GC rider. Wiggins had one great grand tour when the parcours was suited to him and has shown nothing form wise again. He should go for TT and then lead out the sky train at full bore from about 3ks out. Can't see him playing super domestique at sky though.

With Wiggins and G leading out Swift/Henderson then they might pinch a few stages off Cav and the rest.

Good showing again by Cav, I hope he can carry the form over to the tour. Sky also showing well and both here and in the US are putting up a good performance. I hope I'm wrong but I think Wiggins days of glory are all in the past!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that Wiggins has his eye on the Olympics now. His road job is just good training.

And cash as well of course.

Big day today boys and girls....
