    Hot racing coming up in Australia

    He was stuffed. Nobody else really wanted to chase so he did it himself hoping for help and blew up. Took some mega turns, he's the main reason the race finished the way it did

    Most overrated (good) rider in the peloton?

    Indeed. A rider of Matthews' ability should have at least an MSR, Amstel and WC win, along with a couple of top results at Flanders. I do think Sagan also got into his head early in his career

    Michael Matthews wins this hands down for me. He should have a much better palmares, but never quite got that Milan SanRemo win, Flanders podium or Giro/second TDF points classification.

    He's lurking and looks to be getting stronger when it matters. The final week might not be a two horse race

    Of course, but I'm talking about the myopericarditis and iliac artery issues - both requiring major surgery - she's also faced.

    At this point of a GT and a stage like that, if nobody responds it's usually because they can't

    me too, but to be fair, that stage1 crash wasn't really one he could have avoided

    Gigante is a true racer. Despite her demeanour and bike handling limitations, if she smells blood she'll try to strike. Reusser being slightly unwell explains her teams actions

    Hopefully Gigante has finally turned a corner. It's always a flash of massive potential followed by an unlucky crash. Or a crash from bad bike handling. Or an illness/heart condition. It's exhausting being a fan of hers
