    Wrong time of the year, could be a cracking race! Where is Rui Costa?

    Never heard of it... why is Nibali wearing the yellow jersey?

    One of the traditional post tour crits. Guess no one told Costa to stick to the script. There used to be more crits in August than there are now (read Barry Hoban's autobiography, or Walsh's original Kelly book), often involving epic overnight drives between venues, as these races were where most riders earned the bulk of their income.

    Still one every day in Holland and in Belgium for weeks. Pretty much died out apart from a couple in France and elsewhere

    Yates had to have stitches in his chin after hitting that curb and concrete barrier.

    Valverdeel moves into the WT lead with the points from the win.

  • Looks like Yates overcooked the corner to me, then broke his bike on that kerb

    Roche speaking of the Bordako Tontorra climb:
    probably one of the hardest ones in the year. It is very similar to the old one they had in Lombardy a few years ago, but on a much narrower road, very slippery
