    Good spot. Looks like no stripes, but some natty gold detailing including gold roundels to match his "work of art"

    God, the husband has started correcting Quigley now and he isn't that much of a cycling fan. :|

    Just looked on the Doppler Radar looking for rain and any rain seems to be inland near Perugia. The coast looks to be dry for the moment. :)

    either the countdown hand or Tom danielson got their timings a second or two out there!

    not sure how his time compares yet but brads technique and position are a sight to behold.

    A descent in first two metres not ideal after yesterday's downhill road accident, but that was a good, clean start by Sir Bradley Wiggins!

    I was just about to post something along the same lines - TTs aren't the most exciting viewing, but I could watch him ride one all day.

    Even though an ex doper, it must be hard for an ex champion, DiLuca, to be passed in such a way.

    Wiggins throws Pinarellos away as often as most riders throw bidons.
