    Just saw a tweet from the Rabo guys, saying " A good day for Robert" with a picture of Gesink blowing hard in the peloton.

    Is this how high Rabo aspirations are now? They're pleased their main man doesn't crash and finishes with the main bunch?

    Yeah but Lars Boom did win the Tour of Britain last year, they have nothing left to prove. :lol:

    I am just watching last nights stage (i'm off work ill so nothing better to do). Sagan punctures, gets back on and then moves straight through the bunch and back to the front in just a few minutes, mighty impressive.

    Also saw on twitter that Steve Cummings crashed yesterday and hurt the wrist which he'd previously broken, not sure if he will start tonight. I like Cummings, would be great to see what he could do if he managed to get a proper run of good luck and form.

    Sign of a chipper: one rider wins half the stages.

    I recorded this and also the program afterwards but it still cut off the finish....not a problem though as I simply rewatched the last few KMs from stage 2.

    Definite sign of a chipper;

    Listening to the spokesmen podcast yesterday, an American podcast, and they turn to Tim Jackson, an American, as their pro racing expert and ask him who he thinks will do well in the tour of Cali. His reply;

    "I don't know, I've been too busy following the Giro to pay much attention." :lol:

    He needs to change his name to Peter f***ing Sagan. Unbelievable!

    Stage 2: Sagan / Haussler
    Stage 3: Sagan / Haussler
    Stage 4: Sagan / Haussler

    You've got to feel sorry for Haussler.

    Robbie McEwen (Orica-GreenEdge) and Marcel Kittel (Argos-Shimano) at the back of the race. McEwen finished 106th + 38:58 and Kittel finished 117th (second last) + 49:17

    Don't care.

    Sky was installed yesterday so sat watching it anyway.



    With regards to Sagan, you can only beat the riders who turn up and bother, but it's still impressive in tough conditions.

    Excellent. Make sure you make the most of all the other features / online / remote recording etc.

    Watching cycling at work on your 'sky player' online is plenty better than some stream that's running at 240p.

    As much as I like Sagan, it really is getting boring. :(

    For sure, but, as pro-cyclnig was saying last month - a 1 week race which is dominated by the same kind of rider day after day does not make it exciting - and that doesn't help the prestige. 1 week races that are big are always varied. Think Tireno, think Paris Nice, think Dauphine our the TdSuisse. Even Romandie.

    Fixed.

    Sky player has been a godsend over the last few quiet days in work and I'm impressed with the reliability of the stream :)
