    Cat Ferguson was on Watts Occurring this week, and again was very humble

    Although when she named Luke and G as 2 of her heroes growing up, it made us all feel old (she was born in 2006!)

    Having only returned to racing in August following his really bad crash in last year's tour of Flanders it was good to see Taco van der Hoorn return with an impressive win in Elfstedenrace on Wednesday.

    Only Jorgenson even tried to go with him and that didn't last long.

    You're seeing almost as much action as anyone at the moment. Very intermittent pictures due to weather.

    Well if it isn't then he's going to do something completely unprecedented.

    Two GTs, World's and a monument, with his favourite monument to come (looking more nailed on favourite for that than any rider for any race i can think of). That will take some beating

    12 gt stages in one year seems a lot. How many have done more than that?

    Binda won 12 stages in one Giro, and there were only 15 there for the taking.

    These numbers are interesting but not more than 12.
