Tour de France

Is the Sky the limit?

British professional cycling entered a new era this week (no, not Tony Gibb's haircut and the Plowman Craven team launch!!) when "Team Sky" was launched.

The principle being to take the winning formula of "Team GB", mainly on the track, and turn it into a road based squad capable of winning the Tour de France.

The national newspapers were mentioning names such as Steve Cummings and Bradley Wiggins coming in to lead the team, but Dave Brailsford (Team GB Performance Director) was a bit more coy mentioning the possibility of continental based pros being part of the roster.

Video interview: watch 2008 Tour de France winner Carlos Sastre on road.cc now!

2008 Tour winner talks racing, bikes, and chocolate

Off to sunny* Portugal… to meet the Tour de France winner (hopefully)

Off to the Cervelo Test Team launch. Should be fun, Carlos Sastre is on the team never spoken to a Tour de France winner before (although I was standing next to Lance Armstrong when he got off his bike after winning the 2005 Tour, but that's another story).

If you want me to ask him a question, I will - although I'm probably not going to be asking him THAT question. Thor Hushovd if you've got any questions for him fire them over too.

There shoud be some of these there too…
