    Whoever promises Kolobnev the most money probably. (They don't actually have to pay him, he's a bit dumb like that)

    Doubt it, he specialises in coming 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th.

    Him and Kolobnev will have a right old ding dong then - when was last time Alexander won something?!

    This scenario is one of the easiest ways to win in pro cycling - small breakaway with zero pressure from the peloton.

    While you are waiting for Kolobnev to win, I would recommend watching this awesome stage of the TdS. Uber heavyweight win.

    I need to show my colleagues that photo. I'm always complaining that three screens isn't enough.

    Wow that is a surprise - Rast wins with a very comfortable margin. He hasnt won a race since 2009 (Tour of Lux prologue)

    Hayman closes off Kolobnev for 2nd place who is not happy.

    Ha! Not too expensive - £150 for 20inch seems good to me. The stand is a little more though.
