    It was quite good during Froome's Giro raid as you could see just how much the Dumoulin group were fannying about on the descents.

    TBF I think he's nuts even going to the start line. Just goes to show how prestigious the LR actually is.

    Moderately. Yes. :D

    Ha! I know what you're thinking but can also be benign as in Cha Nom Yen

    Day two you'd think they would take it a bit easier. I mean this is a expo till the inevitable 5k sprint.

    That Sky kit is growing on me a bit. Looks slightly better when they are actually on the bike.
