That new Prevail looks quite good. A bit more ventilation, a bit more aero. Haven't seen a shot of the back, though.

Kittels silver Vias looks good.

UK will never produce riders with flair like Bertie , Valverde. Pantani etc they would have to go solo and ride for a non UK team.
I really hope Sky destroyed at the tour . Well said Cummings.

Come on Aru ,Bertie, Nibs. etc they are my kind of riders.

Another win then for a UK rider with no flair ;)

Contador is out, another boring tour is in, from stage 1. Looking forward to Vuelta a España.
Happy Trails !!!

Wonder what custom insoles Contador was using, couldn't identify them from the dude's mouth who was holding them after that crash lol
Just ride ..

Nice win from Cav, seems Kittel didnt have the jump to get on to Sagan's wheel.

Should be interesting with the gaps on GC already

Contador crashed twice in last years Giro and messed up his shoulder, but still went on to win.

Don't doubt him just yet.....

Pretty pathetic post. If you have seen previous posts then you would know I am a cav fan.
My post was referring to the GB,SKY set up.

Great win for cav although looking at kitty I think the occasion got to him
He did not look his best IMO.

Hope Bertie is ok. He looks pretty ripped up

I agree with xena. Only problem is that there is no bonification seconds for flair, or show. Maybe gerrraint thomas has flair? we'll see. but yeah, sky is as boring as it gets. and policaly corect, which is much much worse.
Happy Trails !!!

One way for Cav to shut up any critics saying it's an all Sagan/Kittell show. So pleased for him to finally get that win & yellow, it was a decent gap and he did well to follow and jump, the last km in the overhead looked hectic!
