Stage 1 highlights on Eurosport 2 now. What I can't quite understand is why there is an occasional musical soundtrack (in addition to Rob Hatch)0

Ha I''m glad I'm not the only one that noticed that. There was a lingering shot of Nibali with what sounded like the Jaws theme in the background.
Whether we'll hear the banana splits when Cav comes on screen is another question0 -
It was bizarre...0

I am very familiar with 8 hour Time Zones-Jet Lag when returning the many times from the West Coast (Pacific Time Zone) from such places as San Diego and Seattle.

He's the best rider since Merckx, I believe."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

I stopped regarding EBH as a P-R or Flanders contender a good while ago. But given his confidence level from these early season results, plus a 10th place last year, I wouldnt be surprised to see him up there in MSR0 -

They've got a decent team for the classics, have MTN. Farrar knows those roads well, Brammeier is a useful wild card too. If EBH gets his act together, I foresee top 10s. Maybe he's all in for Omloop again?"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

We all did - none of the regular commentators seem to have got the message!0 -

I would've thought the ladies would like Nacer.
But whadda I know.0 -
Green mountain seems to have been tasty. Nibs takes the win. Nice to see Dumoulin and Kudus both up there too.
No idea about the antipodeans.
You get the top 12 as I thought I may as well throw Pozzo into the mix.
