Women's Paris Roubaix too... I'd missed that when I looked at the calendar.

Thats a lot of sheep.

Has the grupetto formed?

arguably more interesting and better organised than the virtual rvv

Has the grupetto formed?

Looked to be forming with those lazy fuckers halfway down who'd found a patch of grass.

GCN app are streaming a condensed version of a classic Giro stage from 2013-present (a few from each year) on their app, using Eurosport footage. It starts at 2.30pm daily and is then available on demand. It has analysis/other bits and bobs from Dan Lloyd and others - riders from the race and journalists.

99p to access them, makes the day go a bit quicker

I can’t see Ineos paying Froome what he thinks he’s worth next year and we know that Brailsford has little to no time for sentiment. But I can’t see him letting Froome go before the Tour, as then he’ll be a potential rival.

I would LOVE to see him in Astana

They couldn’t afford him.

I made a YouTube playlist of the Tour of Taihu Lake from past years, 2017 Tour of Hainan, 2014 Tour of Beijing. I always liked those races. Leonardo Fabio Duque!

'Cycling News understands', well, there's a first time for everything.

Who'd want him/could pay his salary at this point? Bahrain/UAE?

Trek have a habit of signing people when potentially past their sell by date I suppose.

He can have Ritchey Porte as his domestique again....

Looking forward to the inevitable tweets from Mrs Froome when Chris Movistar loses a stage to Valverde

More likely an argument over who has priority with the embalming fluid.

Farewell to Mitchelton Scott then.

I'm a bit suspicious of an un-launched non-profit rolling out a title sponsorship. Seems either dodgy, or a poor use of funds... or both. Also... the kit...

That reads like an exposé on the new owner of a tier 2 rugby league club. I feel comfortable.

Any ideas on where the best revised racing calendar is?
