lowep81: Sky are tearing the #natchamps apart. Wiggins, Thomas and Kennaugh with a huge lead

If they went clear who do you think they would want in the jersey?

Gap in Spain is down to 35" and still got the final climb to do that will suit bertie down to the ground..

Doobz

Wiggins, Thomas and Kennaugh have split from lead group and are hammering it, now on two finishing circuits

jp1985

Ireland:

1. Matt Brammeier (HTC)
2. Dan Martin (Garmin)
3. David McCann (Giant Kenda)
4. Nicolas Roche (Ag2r)
5. Sam Bennett (An Post Sean Kelly)

Amusingly, none of these riders were born in the Republic of Ireland

Well the Championship is All Island and we have always welcomed the Sons/Daughters of our Emigrants

Cancellara won the swiss champ

The Fit hit the Shan in Spain. Bertie just pretty much rode away from everyone with the help of another saxo rider. Bridged the gap to lead bunch and only Rojas managed to jump on his wheel..

Gilbert attacking at 3km boonen racing to keep on

Thomas had his turn last year. It would be nice to see Wiggo actually win a road race, but I think they'll give it to Kennaugh.

Alexander Kristoff just won the Norwegian RR.

Gilbert in the bag nice attack.

GILBERT

FJS

Gilbert wins Belgian title - beats Boonen on his own territory: a short cobbled climb 2 km from the finish

Doobz

Bertie struggling a bit now while Rojas sucks the goodness from his rear wheel. Rojas refusing to come through and do any work..

Tom BB

Sky 1,2,3 again then by the looks of it! Thomas has the best finish of the 3....Wiggo by far the worst.

Maybe SLY can team up with Gewiss Ballan again and have Argentin,Furlan,& Berzin at the helm :roll:

i literally have no idea what this means.....

I would love to see how people would react differently depending on whether Kennaugh won it or Wiggins...if Kennaugh wins it would be a great win for a promising young rider, if Wiggins wins people will complain about how it's a shit small race and he showed no panache.

If the trio have it in the bag then hopefully the team will tell them to race amongst themselves. If that happened and he's up for it I could see Wiggins riding away with it. Personally i'd like Kennaugh to get it though.

Nicki Sorensen won the Danish RR.

Tom BB

Do you reckon that Sky will change the National Champs kit if Wiggo or Kennaugh win?.....G's looks very good imo!

If Kennaugh gets it then it's good because he's been close several times before
If Wiggins gets it then it's good because it will be prominent at the Tour (plus his green Sky kit dosen't seem to fit properly)
If Thomas gets it then it's good as he's worn it well in the past year

Agree Rich, but not everyone is a rational as you are!

Doobz

Bertie and Rojas still leading in Spain. Rojas looks by far the freshest after sitting on the whole climb but now coming through and taking turns at least.

1 min back to chasing group.

I cant see Bertie taking this to be fair.. bit of a sh|t trick by rojas but that's bike racing I guess!
