Tro Bro Leon is on tomorrow, coverage on Eurosport, a great race with several sections of unpaved tracks/fields.
The top Breton rider wins a piglet. What's not to like?

I think you just missed out on the third opportunity this season to use "that" joke, you have probably angered the comedy gods.
It's on Bike Channel live, I believe

Tro Bro Leon was great, those tracks looked mad to take a racing bike on to, no wonder the peloton was so depleted at the end. And a great sprint to decide a worthy winner. Very enjoyable.

I have yet to catch it, hopefully it's on Eurosport as a video when I have the time to sit and watch it

I thought it was brilliant the way he easily bridged the 20 second gap and bodes well for the Giro.

I'd love to see G do well at the Giro, but can you really see him beating Quintana? For me, i cant. He'll need things to go his way and bad luck for others. He can TT well though so should take time there over some of the GC guys. But it won't be enough I fear.

Depends how much the team work for him, Quintana might find it quite difficult to beat a team working for Thomas in the same way he has found it hard to beat a team working for Froome.

Thomas just isn't a good enough climber to be a genuine Giro contender. He's improved in recent years to the extent that some take it as evidence of doping (though I think it's more down to the fact that he's concentrating on the road more rather than the track - he always had the potential to be a solid top 10 rider) but he still gets dropped like a stone when it turns really steep - he clearly hasn't improved that much.
Landa is surely a more realistic proposition for the Giro?

I am just catching up with Fleche Wallone, and am starting to get p*ssed off with every bloody commentator mentioning "bad example for the children watching" when the riders rest their arms on the bars in what the commentators seem to call "faux time trial position" - who gives a flying f*ck?!!
