    Kennaugh showing what a mistake it was for the Wiggins fans not to have him as a Plan B for all their whinging.

    Great to see @Petekennaugh take 3rd on stage 6 of the #ToA and extend his overall lead to 1min 2sec with 2 stages to go! #AllezPete

    Kennaugh defended his sausage. Came 19th in the TT. He leads by 1.03. Just a sprint stage tomorrow stands between him and the title of Lord of the Sausages,

    Do you have times for the others? 19th doesn't sounds very great, but perhaps they were really close together?

    I won a signed photo of Pete in a caption contest his manager ran on Facebook for one of the podium photos :lol:

    He lost 1'23, putting time into all his GC rivals. He's not a TT rider, so tough to expect more than that.

    Podium girls keep their legs firmly crossed as Little Pete gets his big sausage out.

    (It was only only a local cycling club page so there was a shortage of clever people!)

    I always expect pursuiters to be good TT riders even though I know the distances aren't comparable.

    I know Lil' Pete is, well little but that is still a massive sausage!

    It's all a question of scale.
    Here's a whole packet of the prize sausages!

    He's a team pursuit rider though, and the demands of the modern day team pursuit are more suited to more explosive riders than your traditional team of four good pursuiters.

    Stage 8 July 13, 2014 Podersdorf - Vienna 122.8 km
    "At the moment it looks good. The team have a great spirit, Pete is in great form and today he did a really good performance. He had to deal with a lot of wind out on course. A few time he had to grab onto the handlebars because of the gusts, but he did what he had to do against his opponents. He even extended his lead by a second.

    "The guys have supported Pete since the first stage. Tomorrow we need to focus and we'll do that until the last lap has finished in Vienna."

    That's actually Siutsou, not Dombrowski. They haven't corrected it all week.

    Vegetarianism in the Kennaugh household is just not an option.

    That makes sense. Dombrowski posted a tweet about some place in Washington DC this week, which I thought was odd given he's in Austria. Clearly he's not.

    Exciting few days in this race. Great that PK is holding on - his team are riding at the front pretty hard though.

    Dayer, showing his age just like his brother :D

    Just realized Dan martin was racing. Not very successfully. Hopefully he finally shows something in Poland. I hope PK races that too.
