Would be interesting to see if he just follows wheels to keep ahead of the GC favourites. Seems to be confident in the mountains. His team have a decision to make - either switch support to Ciccone or continue fully supporting Porte. Would like to see the team fully supporting him as I don't...

I liked Cadel's 2011 year.

It is a bike race. Aru should have continued with the attack. Nothing in the rules saying you can't. The excuse that it is a breach of etiquette is feeble. Put it in the rules in that case. If it was an ITT or TTT the competing riders wouldn't slow down nor the officials deduct time from...

I think TD will end up winning this. He will just follow Nairo and Nibali, perhaps lose some time, perhaps even the Maglia Rosa, but the other two won't be far enough ahead on time for the TT. I also think Nibali can't afford to drag Nairo with him on an alliance. He needs to dig in time with...

I rode in the Dolomites in September. I took my own bike over and borrowed as bike case from the local bike shop. I went with two friends and the routes were mapped prior to departure. Book accomodation prior to departure. We also hired a car for the time. Take your usual accessories such...

These inspired me and gave me thrills: Pantani Evans Indurain LeMond Cancellara Bettini Boonen Cipo McEwen Anderson There are others that inspired me and got my emotions stirring. I will probably have a different list tomorrow. How do I fit in the Cobra Chiappucci O'Grady Valverde Contador...

My heart selects: 1. Matthews 2. Nibali 3. Valverde My head suggests: 1. Belgium (One of the 3 big names preferably Boonen) 2. Degenkolb 3. Sagan

I have been riding hills for the past 2 months in the Dandenongs in Melbourne with friends. A big change from the usual rides which are pretty much flat. I have always enjoyed climbing but the opportunities have been limited due to flat terrain locally in Melbourne. Whilst my speed work has...

:) Thanks for reading my post! Let's make it my Top 9 in that case.

In no order - Gilbert, Rebellin, Contador, Boonen, Cancellara, Nibali, Valverde, Cavendish and Petacchi. No doubt the likes of Degenkolb and Kittel over time may push out some of these but the ones mentioned will have left the peleton. At the moment these are my top 10, a mixture of sprinters...

Re: Agree. He cracked on the weekend.

In no particular order, my selections are: Kristoff, Boom, Pippo, GVA, Wiggins and Terpstra My heart says Pippo. My head says Kristoff. I just shake my head at Sagan and now feel he may be overrated.

Valverde for me with honourable mentions for Evans, Cancellara, Boonen and Wiggins.

I have been quietly impressed with RP this year. I am interested to see if he will be given support by the team and in particular CF for a tilt at the overall. My only concern at this stage is whether he can carry his form through to the end of the Giro. However, it is nice to see him up front

In no particular order my three are - GVA, Matthews and Stannard.
