    This is cycling. We are aware of Belgian and Dutch cultural habbits.

    Don't forget the MAYO.

    Serious fail.

    Looks like he's in the process of sh!tting himself.

    Greipel takes the stage. As he did last year.

    Lets hope Gilbert salvages something in this race.

    Is that down hill into a flat finish or flat into a steep uphill finish? I assume the former with a strange camera angle.

    Dude, if your face goes like that when you're having a sh!t you need to see a doctor urgently!

    Current score: Greipel 3 Petacchi 2.

    7270658440_031cd818bc.jpg

    Petacchi and Hutarovych collided (supposedly Hutarovych’s mistake) 50 m after crossing the finish line together, and Hutarovych was taken to hospital! Cut above eye.

    TT tomorrow, so it'll be interesting to see what form Cancellara has.

    Winner.

    What a stupid idea to put this race on at the same time as the Giro.

    Batancur wins stage 5! Good rider that lad. Martin takes the overall.

    Looks like Fabian didnt ride yday so still suffering.

    FAIL by Gilbert.

    Betancur wins again. Moser 2nd. Some class coming up through the ranks.

    And what a success - voted Most Handsome Rider of the Bayern Rundfahrt 2012.

    7330868364_ce521a4873.jpg

    The voting was online, and Cancellara won in front of local lad Jonas Schmeiser, with John Degenkolb third.

    As prize Fabian received a large gingerbread heart, made in a cake shop which was German Chocolate Master in year 2008, and a magnum-size bottle of local apple-prosecco.

    Points jersey - puh!
    If you can't win the GC, such are the prizes to hope for!

    So basically Cancellara has taken only two big wins of Radioshack's season......Strade Bianchi and now this. Johan Bruyneel must be stoked and Radioshack will no doubt be getting their cheque book out for another two years of sponsorship.
