Edit: typical! I post a link up and they finish winding up the clockwork red button.

This TT course... it's hardly photogenic.

Cummings might set a good time

He was race leader for a minute and a half. 2nd now. And my Vuelta favourite is off....

 

[Apollonius]

Vasil! Delighted.

Did Kirby mention about bitter in-fighting at Sky?
or did I pick him up wrong...

 

[Berk on a Bike]

Cannot describe how bloody chuffed I am for the guy. Way to go, Vas!

He did but he didn't elaborate and Smithy and Hutch didn't comment.
Kirby does just spout bollox though, in a stream of consciousness.

Thanks...
the silence from the other two I thought was proof...

I see Villumsen is now in a spot of bother due to riding non-sponsor TT bike.

Apparently she says she could not achieve the desired position on the sponsor's bike. However she faces disciplinary action.

 

[Apollonius]

I think it is brilliant that a superb team-player like Vasil gets the top prize. Richly deserved.

Story here. Apparently the management sacked her that day then backtracked (presumably when it became apparent she was champion).

 

[woohoo]

Could be that her real "crime" in the team management's eyes was in not telling them early enough. Given a bit more time, they could have got out the spray cans of blue and white paint, slapped on a couple of Wilier stickers and would have kept everyone happy. It wouldn't have been the first time it has been done.

As ever with these types of stories, UHC is probably getting more coverage as a result of her not riding a sponsored bike than if she had...!
