Well done itv. Excellent work.

Perhaps a stupid question but why was he riding a flat and short tt on a road bike?

Looking forward to seeing cav swap his uk champion jersey for yellow at the end of the first tour stage.

That BR article says that raphas 24hr champion designed the set. He is clearly a super endurance athlete.

Not convinced by his design skills.

Based on recent strategy it seems that they'll send a pair of potential winners.
Uran and Henao look like a pretty obvious choice unless all that talk pre-giro about Wiggins putting out record numbers was actually true. [Rather than all the post giro speculation that he had been on the piss since last August]

I can't remember how big it is, and I'm not entirely sure it's available for test riding...

I think most of the potential customers would be put off by the 'uh... there is max rider weight to consider' questions on inquiry.

very nice!

Seems a weird set-up. Not as much seatpost as you'd expect, and almost no saddle to bar drop.

I love this bike though.

Your point is a good one.
What's the point of an aero frame if the lump of meat sat atop it isn't flexible enough for at least some approximation of a flat back?

The owner could have spent the same massive pile of cash on a custom frame that suits his/her riding style.

Shakes head

• gorgeous NOS 01: 54x55 Columbus Cromor; fantastic paint and chrome, currently a bargain, modest interest.

Methinks this will be pricey.

Good zullo spotting though, I take it you're hunting for one?

If Evans gets top five I will eat my softshell

What's the best way to cook softshell?
Sauteed in butter perhaps?

Not a bad giro for cav.
Win number 100 and the points jersey.

^ seems to be well set unless nibs decides to start winning sprints.

Points classification 1 Vincenzo Nibali (Ita) Astana Pro Team 128 pts 2 Mark Cavendish (GBr) Omega Pharma-Quick Step 117 3 Cadel Evans (Aus) BMC Racing Team 111 4 Carlos Alberto Betancur Gomez (Col) Ag2R La Mondiale 108 5 Rigoberto Uran Uran (Col) Sky Procycling 102

Has Cav got the maglia rossa in the bag?

You could start by watching this (linked off cycling tips)

Seabase - Galibier on Vimeo

Inner ring reporting that the galibier is off on sunday. Which looking at the picture higher up the page cannot be too surprising.

"In addition it seems that Sunday’s Galibier stage will be substantially shortened after the French government préfet has ruled the snow and avalanche danger is too high for the Mont Cenis and Galibier summit finish, instead it’s likely tomorrow’s stage finishes above Valloire so after the Col du Télégraphe but only on the start of the Galibier."

They may also need to rething sundays route.

Peleton switches to fat bikes for final cople of Ks to the col?

1 second in 100 miles. I imagine there was some cursing.

The descent from cason di lanza doesnt look intimidating on google maps. If wiggo gets dropped on this descent its going to be a bit embarassing.

I rather liked this spot just round the corner from huez

^After having 2 bikes break on him, cannot say that I am surprised. Is there 11 speed mechanical or just 10?

Sky Procycling team for the Giro d’Italia:

Dario Cataldo, Sergio Henao, Christian Knees, Danny Pate, Salvatore Puccio, Kanstantsin Siutsou, Rigoberto Urán, Bradley Wiggins and Xabier Zandio

Robust!

Could imagine sky filling up quite a few of the slots in the top 20 of gc

The individual TT is on stage 11. It's clearly possible that will put wiggo in yellow. The major mountains (ventoux/AdH) come later.

Will be interesting to see what happens to Sky team tactics if on ventoux it ends up being a quartet of contador/froome/wiggo/A N Other and wiggo cannot immediately match the speed of a contador attack. Will froome be allowed to drop a yellow jersey wearing wiggo?

This sort of fits here:

Litespeed looks like they slapped a hydro-formed tube on an old frame.

Do not want.

Agree about the frame. Rather like the bars though. Any ideas what they are?

You think brad wants adidas bibs back?

“I’m feeling a bit rough at the moment. I won’t go into detail; it’s nothing for the female ears,” he said, rubbing his eyes and looking wearily at the 30-odd journalists and photographers gathered for the event. “The saddle sores are better. It’s something else,” he revealed, but refused to elaborate.
