    Sky failed to win a single GT stage last year, now take the first GT road stage of the season.
    2 posts more for today's stage. Progress. :P

    Nice sunny Sunday afternoon. You wait until tomorrow when people are avoiding doing work the thread will be buzzing. Sadly I won't be able to join in.

    Very grainy pictures, but you can just make out the nutcase riding into the peloton.

    Sky riders get to acknowledge the sky when they win. Lesser riders make do with miming a mobile call or kissing the badge. Clever.

    I'm guessing he was hired by the organisers as the dry weather scuppered their annual roundabout crash fest. They'd had one stage with everyone remaining upright and thought they needed to do something about it in case their reputation for organising a crazy, crash-ridden race got tarnished.
