    I like Geraint a lot. He has flair. Unlike most of his teammates. He needs to be unleashed.

    This is exactly what's happening here....he's being unleashed - and to let this happen is a big reason why Sky let Flecha go a year early off his contract. This is why its been a bit annoying when you make sweeping statements about Sky riders being boring...because some of us have followed the early years of some of these guys' careers and we know that they're far from boring riders.

    2011, he made a bit of a stir. As per 2010 Tour, white jersey for a few days at the Tour - and some promising signs at the Classics in '11 esp Flanders.

    Last year was all about the track and the Olympics - and that was G's choice. Even before that, he wasnt fully committed to the road as he was still riding Track Worlds and World Cup events from 09-11.

    Now its G Time - which is what some of us here have been looking forward to sooo much

    So..... :lol::):lol:

    I hear the American military are working on something like this right now, it will be released to the civilian markets in due time. This post is only half in jest. :shock:

    Phinney, Agostini, Belkov and Proni about to be caught. Good effort.

    15km to race. Will kick off with the big guns soon I expect.

    Pigeons are too intelligent to stand for it apparently.

    I have no idea what is going on. Now the nefarious Menchov is on Sagan's wheel who is putting them to the sword.

    Pellizotti no longer in the mix and 6kms to race. Descending to the line.

    King of the descents, the shark jumps off the front, letting his old team mate watch him go. He won solo in 2009.

    3ks, Nibali is brought back. Vino on the wires yesterday saying he wants to help him attack once and make it count. Nibali has got a great attacking spirit but often gets caught - still great for the fans though.
