As much as i’d like to rant
As much as i’d like to rant about the press, they are slowly getting better, remember, until the last couple of years, we’ve had feck all to scream about in road cycling, since maybe Boardman did the TdF back in the days when i was young 😉Track cycling gets decent coverage in the media thanks to our efforts in Beijing. Now we have the world champ, riding on a British team and he has shown in the past he can win some big races and stages, the media will only get better in my view.

I think they got it spot on
I think they got it spot on to be honest, yes he was always going to be out the back on this stage, but he looked like he was physically struggling today, not just his normal roll home last, It will be interesting to see if he races tomorrowValverde

I assume here you watched the coverage??I did look to me that Cav WAS struggling, he came home in the last group on the road +17:35 down which is normal for Cav on a hilly stage, but he looks really done in, i also noticed that Bernie wasn’t hanging about to get him through the stage.
Also, you might have noticed, Sky didn’t even mention Cav’s name once in this sum up today??

WOW HOOOOOOOOOOOI actually did well in this stage 😕
I didn’t even seen Hivert getting me some points, totally overlooked him
My only none scorer today was Gorka Izagirre
So ended up with 99 points 😀

I just looked to see if the scores were up yet and i forgot, I left Rojas in, at least thats some conciliation 😉drheaton wrote:How about
How about Taaramae, finishing 6 mins down on De Gendt surely he was taking it easy in preparation for tomorrow?He came in battered and bruised, skint knee, blood all over his right hand, so i suspect he went down somewhere on the stage and thats why he was lagging De Gendt, so i wouldn’t be chucking him in there either
Levi went down 3 times today,
Levi went down 3 times today, i wouldn’t bank on him for anything, he’ll be getting the chop from my team and i have the ideal replacement 😀Top 20 Stage

What i dont think was right though, Levi went down, needed a new bike, the Movistar hit the front and took up the pace to keep him out the back, very unsportingCan anyone guess who won??
