Easy does it for Brennan at Burgos.

Lost his lead out man and was stuck a decent distance back in the wash. More a show of how much stronger than the rest of the field he is than an execution of a finely honed sprint train.

Peak Carlton at Pologne as he calls it for Christen at 2k out, then calls it for Brenner at about 200m then Christen wins.

Good to see Marco Brenner performing well in Poland. A total beast at junior level who went straight to the pros with DSM. Not a good move. Apparently, he fell out with the team because he adjusted his saddle height without consulting them! After a couple of meh years with Tudor, he seems to be finally finding some form. Good luck to him. He's still only 23.

I think he's just taken the GC in Poland, just waiting confirmation

High drama in the finale of ATS when yellow jersey Soen Le Pann dropped his chain in tthe final 2 kilometres. Fortunately, he got it back on in time to just about save his yellow jersey.

 

[Dorset Boy]

The young lad I used to ride with managed to secure 8th on GC at Guadeloupe, a great result in his first race at that level!

How come 2 of the biggest charger's races, Vuelta a Columbia and Volta a Portugal are scheduled for the same time? Presume it's to let the testers have their summer holidays.

Sevilla has a victory to his name this year, as does Mancebo.

a propos of nothing really, Oscar Sevilla, 49, is 48 seconds off the pace in la Vuelta de Columbia...
behind Sergio Henao, only 38 years old, and ahead of Sebastian Henao, a mere 33.

Was talking to a sports interested but not a cycling fan guy yesterday and he asked me why Portugal didn't have a tour....

I hope you replied "Because it's illegal there. In fact there is no word for bicycle in Portugese"

Unfortunately I had to explain to him that nobody wanted to ride there because GT winning superstars routinely got beaten up climbs by Portuguese nobodies and if you look at a list of winners of the last few years, there are quite a few names struck off

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Cracking cobbled goat track the Volta is climbing right now.

Norway is a nice green country
