"started a new trend" In the sense that people have been wearing odd shoes for years.

Every northern European race is crashy. Lots of small roads and a nervous peloton.

On the Catalunya front. Surprise surprise, TJ lost his leader jersey to Valverde.

is Tejay Van Garderen or Taylor Phinney the biggest disappointments in US cycling?


In other news. There are rumours that Nairo Quintana has broken his tibia in a training crash today. We've got someone trying to get confirmation of this and we'll let you know as soon as we do.

After all that b*tching I'm glad that leaders jersey went somewhere else than BMC

It's so sad to see TJ struggling to keep up with cannondale domestiques on the climb. After all the bitching he put himself into an awful situation. Otherwise it was an awesome finish with big names battling with each other.

That you aren't a fan of TJ I can understand (tho not in that maner), but hating them all... :roll:
