    I have been watching and to be honest some of the scenery is bloody amazing in that part of the world. Yesterdays stage was possibly one of the most beautiful stages I have watched in a long time.

    I have put the coverage on cyclingtorrents.nl

    Well done, he's a quality rider. Hopefully one day he'll get a big win in the classics.

    I'm really pleased for him, he's put in the hard miles in a lot of races so it's great to see him getting his turn to shine.

    Chapeau to Ian, one of my favourite riders. A real hard man.
    It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.

    The scenery is fantastic. If you ever want to take a cycling holiday I would strongly recommend Austria, having lived in that neck of the woods for years. Roads are great, there's very little traffic out in the country, food's great, women are lovely... Oh, how I miss it :-(
