Based on what you assume/ know that Balmer is focussed on the road?

I was especially supprized by the broad climbing strength by the Australians. Of course they were known as talented, but it strikes that they all delivered, at least in one stage. Schultz, Hindley, Storer, Hamilton, who is the most talented?

Good news from Direct Energy! Anyone already mentioned the transfer of Simone Consonni to Lampre Merida? Besides Lampre, also FDJ, Etixx, Orica, Cannondale and Katusha already signed a few neo's. I am very wondered about the possible signings for teams like Lotto Soudal, BMC, Giant and Ag2r...

Re: Quoted from the Etixx team website: Fernando Gaviria did not take to the start of the 5th stage in the Tour of Britain this morning. Though the Colombian sprinter won the 4th stage yesterday, he is suffering from pre-patellar friction syndrome in his right knee, which needs a period of...

Anyone who have more information about the progress of the first stage? How did Wurtz Schmidt get second? And was Consonni really the fastest sprinter from the bunch or was it just a flat sprint? (wondered by the strong 4th place of Godrie and disappionting 9th from Gaviria)

Does anyone already knows something about the GreatBrittain selection? I assume that Peters and Geoghegan will ride somewhere else as Sky stagiaires? Than possibly the team will look a lot like their national team at the Ride London Classic? With Scott Davies as their team leader..?

Italian selection: Giulio Ciccone (Team Colpack) Simone Consonni (Team Colpack) Gianni Moscon (Zalf Euromobil Désirée Fior) Simone Petilli (Unieuro Wilier Trevigiani) Edward Ravasi (Team Colpack) Oliviero Troia (Team Colpack) I am really impressed by the strength of the Colombian team and I am...

Roglic takes it all in the 2nd stage of Azerbijan. 1. Roglic 2. Mugerli a 34 s 3. Horner 4. Ockeloen The rest almost lost 4 minutes. Roglic is quite impressive this year, anyone who knows about his future road ambitions? (because he also is a ski jumper??)

Clasificación general Vuelta ala Juventued Colombia u23: 1. Richard Carapaz (ECU-Strongman) 21 horas 18 minutos 50 segundos. 2. Aldemar Reyes (GW-Shimano) a 1 min. 3. Jhonatan Restrepo (Coldeportes Claro) a 1 min 44 seg. 4. Jorge Noreña (EPM-TIGO-UNE) a 2 min 36 seg. 5. Anderson Rodríguez...

He would be a good leadout man, and is verry strong in the one-day classics (cobbles and sprint classics). Thus it won't supprise me if he goes to a team like Sky, OPQS, former Belkin, Giant or BMC (since they seem te select on time trialing skills). However MTN seems in pole position.

Anyone knows what happened to Ciccone?

Why easily? Power was also very strong right?

Not Loic Vliegen?

I remember Gilbert said once that Blythe was a hugh cobble prospect, however he never proved that in a race as far I know.
