Nice little Sky feature from Andalucia

[55by11]

15 minute film behind the scenes on the Ruta del Sol recently. I was there and I have to say the team looks the part, even down to the consecutive SKY number plates on the vehicles.

Has Sean Yates had problems with alcohol or is that just the way he talks?

Thanks for posting that - very interesting.

On Michael Barry's excellent blog there is avideo of Juan Antonio Fletcha descending the Cipressa while training.

Also - Joe Finkleman and Booker Sim are back again this year with the Cervelo Test Team inBeyond The Peloton documentary.
They have just posted an introduction to the 2010 season.

Dear me, how Sky/Cav has changed things.

Hasn't Yates always sounded a bit sloshed?

He really does seem the king of the hill in that team. They'll find out soon enough if they're not maybe slightly overrating him.
