My dream scenario is one of the non-brits from sky winning.

Eisel to spend the next 200km on Cav's wheel and nip past in the last ten metres. You heard it here first.

Hard to come up with a scenario where that happens. Unless Cavendish is out of the race a long time before the finish they won't even try.

Looks like Vasili Kiriyenka. Belarus colours and Movistar helmet. And Kiriyenka riding style.

Aha okay thanks. I kinda recognize him now because his upper body is completely still as usual :cool:

I read the other day about at a past olympics or worlds I think some British? rider(s) ignored team orders and rode for a teammate from another country, can't recall who it was, any idea? He was told he'd never ride for his country again IIRC

Tom Southam & Charly Wegelius, rode early on for the Italians. I think 2005?

Thanks man, webbie was a bit faster but still, much appreciated!



Thanks webbie, meant you in my last post, that site was great! :)

np! :)

Kiriyenka is such a boss. Riding at the front of the peleton and making it look easy. His upper body never moves amazing to see. He probably does a lot of core exercises.

GB sit up and now everyone is having a pee again. Break could get the ~17 minutes they need to lap the field...
