Tour of California

He's come a long way from sprints on Walthamstow Marshes, in the dark, in the rain…

Ha, that was a fun night.

Beating Clive head-to-head sent Tao off on his career path. :)

It's hard to believe those two are still employable in the US.

It's their cute accents.

still dont understand why the feed noise is louder than the commentary, eurosport starts in 40 mins..

How can Liggett even get Tao's name wrong? Surely he must have heard it by now?

Anyway, I guess it's a cross that Tao is going to have to bear throughout his career. :)

can we get a pronunciation guide for tao's full name for the uninitiated pls

Tay-o Geygen-Hart.

So ... echelons? :)

esh-uh-lons

oooh this is good. hope it sticks

Looks as if Tao's in the race-winning move now. :)

Tao rotating with Boonen and Wiggins swoons

You must mean 'Boonen and Wiggins rotating with Tao.' :)

13 mins to eurosport

the lesser-spotted cavendish-in-the-wind there

Makes the two Giro road stages look even duller.

Has Tao been dropped from the break?

Looks like it.

im not sure, the tour tracker says wiggins isnt in the group when he definitely is

ah no, its updated now, dropped.

Yes, there he is back in the peloton.

Great effort from him today.

Somehow, it doesn't look as if the break are going to make it. It's not like Qatar, where you get echelons all day.

Nice close win by Cav.

That was an entertaining stage to watch.

Yes fam
