    I am surprised that most training camps are in Spain. Why not Italy or the South of FrancE?

    Can't be that cold, they don't seem to be wearing overshoes.

    Does Cannock Chase have a currently microclimate totally different to the rest of the UK? Because I'd sure be wearing more clothes than the Sky team, if I could actually get out.
    I like bikes...

    Or gloves - can't imagine I'd be able to operate my brakes after 5 minutes with no gloves here!

    Brailsford's team chose Valencia because it's statistically the driest location in Europe over the last decade. Do these guys not leave any stone unturned?

    Cheaper in what way? Not as nice? :S

    If you look at the weather map over Valencia is snowing there at the moment, it also says it should be around 0C. :)

    Video and photos don't show rain. Think it's just Wiggo & Gerrans having some tweet fun or they edited all the rain out somehow?
