Tour of Turkey SPOILERS

I guess he should be happy with 3 stages, after all he's been out ill for a month.

Adam Yates - amazing, and the icing on the cake was Cav getting a 4th sprint.

What's amazing about Yates is not that he has the physical goods to win at his age, but that he also has the tactical nous. This victory was built on calculations about seconds on some very tricky mountains. I think British cycling has a great future...

A good day at the office for British pro cyclists today

Just watching highlights of stage 8 of the Tour de Suisse and noticing Davide Formolo going very strongly, competing well with the select riders on the final climb - this is, of course, the rider who came second to Adam Yates on stage 6 in Turkey, and finished 4th overall, another 21yo neo pro. Going well in stage 9 so far too. Looks like another very exciting prospect.

His showing in Switzerland is all the more impressive considering what a strong field it is compared to Turkey.

Unlikely, I'd have thought. However well they're going this year, you don't often see riders in the grand tours in their first season as pros.
