    Nice to see Brad riding so aggressively shame he's left it until the end of his season. Could be a real what if as he'd have been leading but for yesterday (although I doubt HTC would have let him go then). Really hope Dan Martin gets a stage as he's spent two full stages in breaks and was also one of the first attackers on stage 3 too, another who must be wondering "what if" after missing the big break on stage 2.
  • Great photo's. I was about twenty metres or so further on from you (near the right hand corner) after the finish line. I thought the atmosphere was excellent today and the crowds were brilliant.

    'Twas also good to see Twiggo giving it some today.
    Let's close our eyes and see what happens
  • Cracking stage today, even though yesterday was good too. They were so up for it today!

    Not sure Tony Martin is worth much of an appearance fee. If they'd forked out to get a real megastar like Lance, the race would be much higher profile.

    Yes, no one can argue that Lance hasn't raise the profile of the TDU, for instance.

    The organisers of the Tour of Ireland thought that last year and it didn't do them much good. That said Radioshack are a bit desperate for races at the moment and maybe we could have got Lance to pay to ride at the expense of the Irish team.
