Bloody hell I'm not alone

I thought the Giro was absolutely superb this year. Leaky Gas were just sublime in the way they controlled the peloton and destroyed it completely once the big hills started. Initially I thought that Basso was holding back Nibali as the stages developed but once on the big stuff he just became awesome.

I was quite disappointed for Cuddles but he didn't have a hope with the team he had around him. There was no support for him when he needed it. I presume we'll see a different BMC once they have Hincapie and co back in with Evans for the TDF. However I'm not expecting much from them to be honest.

As for Sky they started well and were unlucky not to hold the pink jersey for a few days longer thanks to Dutch road furniture. On the whole though they had people in the breaks, worked hard to try and get Henderson in when they could but are clearly lacking on all fronts for anything serious at the moment. I think Wiggo will be lucky to make top 10 in the TDF GC this coming July. But it's good to have a "brit" team, all though I know alot of the cycling community are looking forward to watching them go down in flames

The inevitable has happened. Sean Yates has left Sky.

They'll run out of people to sack before too long

Yates hasn't been sacked though. He's retired

Armstrong on Oprah next week.

hahaha..it will draw big ratings no doubt, even if it will be selecteapproved questions. Will he come out and say he's guilty.. I'm actually not sure either way to be honest. One hopes he might but deep down I think he will deny most of it, admit to some minor indescretion pointing the finger at all and sundry saying everyone in the pro pleton was at it but talk about the pressure to win coming back from 'cancer' yadda yadda.
