Does anyone know what's happened here with Germain?

Kittel looked like he wasn't even trying to leave two bike lengths between him and Demare

Kittel has won five times more GT stages than he's completed GTs. (10 vs. 2)

He'll be out after 10 days at the most, Lefevere said (hashtag cipollini-ing). Nice crowds yesterday, spring having finally arrived here is a big plus

There should be some recognition for the best fantasy team name. Justice4paolini and betancurry are pretty great.

Kittel imbattibile.

Shame none of the others seem to be anywhere close to him at the moment. Greipel seems under par.

Mechanic at Tour of the Gila is getting fired

If they insist on Shimano...

That is a phenomenal photo!

Did he leave his race number on in the wash?

Griepel has next to no leadout, and is coming off the back of multiple early season injuries, he'll come good for the Tour

I'm slightly more disappointed that Ewan has got boxed in both sprints, and hasn't been able to find a way out, the other sprinters are all expected to be a bit worse to be honest

I think the little man needs a bit more lead out. But I don't think that really fits in Orica's GT plans, so either he'll have to get better at positioning by himself or he'll have to start targeting other races.

Team Gigantic-Alpaca is my favourite.

At least we can be sure there isn't a motor

The secret pro was very scathing about Demares win, I imagine the result will stand, without any compelling evidence to demote him

just stumbled across this gem: http://fuckyeahbernie.tumblr.com/

The working man's Kennaugh

At least we can be sure there isn't a motor

The motor is in the wheel - he's clearly still going despite not pedalling! Based on this compelling photographic evidence we must form an internet mob to fight the injustice!

Something for the Bernie fans....

anyone know why there's not proper backstage pass at the Giro. Is it Velon ruining our fun?
