Sheer poetry, Pedro............But it did look effortless. Like a swan in the lake on a beautiful sunny day.

I'll take dust and a cough any day over wet pave, much safer (though it hurt more when you fall off), less slipping and less chance of getting brought down by vrashing riders. Don't mention the stupid "fans", though. To answer a question above, some guys get switched on by ultra-close by cheering fans, but plenty just detest some fat idiot running alongside for a minute yelling in your ear. You always worry that one small error and down you go. Dickheads getting on TV.
The best is Didi, the devil, I would have loved him around for a laugh and smile through the suffering.

'Cross champion, Sven Nys, says that Stybar will have a great cobbled classics career, "just because he's a maniac"... I do hope he's right.

claim to fame - got passed by Gaudin et al on the Arenberg last Friday, then they did it again at Orchies sector, closely followed by FDJ. Those boys fly even on a recce.Gaudin, straight into my fav riders list, beast of rider
