Fabian 3rd in Swiss Road Champs.

Bummer. He now has to wear that skanky RSN kit. Unless he can perform on the prologue and get yellow...talk about incentive.

SwissVan · June 24, 2012

If you look very hard you'll see Chancellera riding in his skanky kit in the first pic, breakaway group early on still quite large

Well done to Tom Boonen on winning the Belgian championships , He's in the best form of his career.

It's too bad he's not at the tour this year but will be the man to beat in London imo.

Unless he can perform on the prologue

Like a tantrum? I'd pay to see someone do a Riis in a TT again...

After a statistically significant poll, Cadel and Wiggo are the two red hot favourites.

In a distant 3rd is Schleck.

Days away from the opening!
