    Hearing rumours the Sky team forgot to enter the Paris Tour sportive again this year!! Missed opportunity for them, I'd say.

    I'm pretty sure most of these big events can be entered online these days, so no excuses for Sir Dave over Sky's no show today!!

    Degenkolb having a go at Belkin for interfering in the chase down of Bol - "Consequences for the future"!
    Indeed, I was wondering what he meant by that - sounded ominous!

    As an aside anyone know what helmets the Belkin team were using? I haven't seen any details of a Bell aero road helmet.

    I don't think there is anything sinister in what he said. Just someone not speaking in their first language.

    Why?

    He's a policeman afterall.

    Because they look good on about 10% of men and 0% of cyclists.

    Any man thinking they look cool with a moustache is deluding themselves. And women do not like them.

    But they are full of panache.

    It's funny, Argos-Shimano seemed to put an awful lot of work in for a rider who wasn't relying on them.
