Tour of Turkey SPOILERS

[raindog]

That's right - real shame, I reckon he might've got that.
What a pair of lads though - one falls off, so the other takes over. Bodes well for the future.

Yep, that was a brilliant stage. Turkey has a lot to offer. Just for a moment I wondered if Adam Yates was going to come back for the win, but what a performance anyway! Shame about Simon, latest says deffo a broken clavicle. Won't be the first, or the last, proper bike rider injury - 2 weeks and all should be OK.

Great stage yesterday.

Fingers crossed that this year's winner remains the winner once the lab reports come back.

The race has been afflicted by torrential rain with suspended racing. Not really sure but some people have dropped out as there was less than bugger all grip.

 

[tug benson]

Back racing now...

 

[jifdave]

easy win for cav, renshaw rolled in 3rd

 

[raindog]

too easy to be entertaining, really

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Another impressive display from OPQS, they just rode everyone else off their wheels.

When they get it right they are untouchable. I hope it goes this well in France.

Giant are getting pretty good at it and I think Kittel is still the favourite in a train drag race

Didn't that mechanic taking out that clump of silver foil from the front brake, make you wince once or twice

Indeed. Feels like Cav is winning sh*t, small races against mediocre opposition and then you notice...

36 André Greipel (Ger) Lotto-Belisol Team

Did Greipel have a tumble or is he just way off following his injury?

 

[raindog]

yeah, apparently he's taking it easy because of his injury

The race has been afflicted by torrential rain with suspended racing. Not really sure but some people have dropped out as there was less than bugger all grip.

Very good and brave decision from the commissaires, rider safety should be the first consideration.
A lesson the slightly loony Giro organisers had to be taught a few years ago (remember the unguarded narrow descent where over 100 was likely..? - taken out of the route).

Viviani takes it from King Cav - interesting
