the socks are a mistake though

Eurosport commentator was loving the Blanco jersey, wouldnt STFU about how nice it is, IMO, it is crap O.o!

Theo Bos was worse than Cav at the small lumps last year and there was speculation that he'd abandon the road and go back to the track. He certainly seems to have upped his game.

Apparently, Cav was actually there and ready to go but had a chain problem and couldn't launch his sprint. Bos had been on his wheel so was perfectly positioned...

That explains it! Still a possible for MSR then, after all!

Monkey Man's man, Henao wins stage 3! The third Sky rider in succession to do say apparently after Cummings and Porte.

Josh Edmondsen was 6th too which is a great result for him. He looked very good in the ToB so it's good to see him taking it up a level.
I still find it hard to believe Menchov and Kloden are still riding. Surely they've been nailed

Yay! I am not sure he will keep the lead tomorrow though, as he can't TT for toffee. Rui Costa FTW. Or even Tony Martin, who is just 28 seconds back.

Yesterday's winner, Theo Bos, dropped out along with a whole load of others including Alex Dowsett. Must have been tough.

OT, your new avatar looks like Beckham at his PSG press conference!

Westra is a pretty decent TTer - I'm going to tip him for the win.
Has Heano ever had to do a TT in anger?...I guess at the end of the Giro 2012, can't remember how he did in that

I've been told Jude Law with a beard, Robert Downey Jr. and now Beckham - oh, plus someone's old biology teacher who they hated!

29th, 2:10 behind Pinotti according to the results

So unless Sky have prepared him particularly well during the off-season he's got no hope of winning this one.

I think he would have to be very well 'prepared' to stand a chance. (Was your choice of that word deliberate?)
