MotherOfGod Go Phinney!!

Porte confirmed as a BMC rider for next season.

That's stepping on Teejay's toes.

BMC need another GC rider to replace Cadel. So I think it's a wise move for them, and should take the pressure off Van Garderen.

It's only a one year deal though.

Yeah I suppose a WT team only having the one GC option isn't ideal.

Why just a one year deal, is Porte backing himself to get a better deal elsewhere after the year is up? Bmc not wanting to create a Movistar type rivalry when they've put all their eggs in the TvG basket?

As it stands they've only got confirmed sponsorship until the end of 2017.

Just saw a Sky FKW on Stoke Newington Church street. On second glance I think it was actually Alex Peters though!

San Sebastien was a track wreck as far as the coverage went, and Adam Yates crossing the line not knowing if he'd win was comedy. First Brit to win the race, massive chapeau

GVA was ahead of him but was hit by a moto so he thought he was second

Oh really? Shows how bad the coverage was then. Hot by a moto, damn

Here's some footage of the incident.

WTactualF?

I thought perhaps Yates was just unsure which brother he was?

Kwiatkowski to Team Sky

What on earth was the moto doing? Bonkers. Still I reckon Adam would still have won

Echoes of Skibby

The Surrey Classic delivers again!

More attacks, breaks, chases and broken hearts in the last 80km than some entire GTs.

The moto rider mistaking Vanmarcke for a lost nodder was a shame.

Anyone spotted a s Surrey classic strava upload from any pros?

What happened?

Marshall thought he was someone who'd jumped into the race;

Chris Juul-Jensen to Orica-GreenEdge for next season. Seems like a good fit.

Jay-sus that is poor

Taylor Phinney third on the opening stage of the Tour of Utah. That's some comeback.

Such an embarrassment.

I'd quite like Vanmarcke to have won that. He did go very early.

Nope
