Mali, have you read buzzati's giro of 1949, when a proper novel writer gets his hand on doing the reports, the story will hit you even more.. https://www.amazon.com/Giro-DItalia-Cop ... 188473751X |

Paris - Roubaix is on Sunday. This is a ridiculous 257km race on the road and over stretches of cobbles. If it is dry, it is dusty and if wet, the mud is stupid. It ends in a velodrome. The race is pretty much a meat grinder, and tactics are "survive" and "get to the front before the next section of cobbles". Look out for Stannard and Boonen. I'd pick Boonen for the win.

Just watched the highlights of Stage 1 TdY. 3 year old: "Look, he's pulling a funny face!". That man? Tommy V. Anyway: helluva pile up at the end, but a good stage. Today is mostly flat, but quite exposed in places, so we might see some echelons splitting the peleton. This'll increase pressure to be at the front, in case the fiels does fragment. Tomorrow's stage looks hard. There's a fair few short sharp ramps (Cote de Silsden, see video, about 1 minute in)before Riddlesdon, it's half mile at 16% then another mile at 7% from memory, so 1.5miles at 10%) I hate it, but the view is nice) which could aid a break before the plunge towards Sheffield |

A rider clipped a motorcycle and went down, skittling half the Sky team and other riders. Thomas is now five and a half minutes down on Quintana. Pinot sits twenty eight seconds behind the Colombian race leader. |
