Loved the open air festival concept. The Dutch needed to be a little bit more "ge-olie" with Amstels though.

 

Lucky they had a Dutchmen presenter for the Afrikaans names. Did himself proud even with the Eritrean ones. Good man.

Don't think Barloworld was SA registered.

 

 

Aaah Google says it was a UK registered team.

Correct. In fact they weren't even based here. Just had the title sponsor. If i'm not mistaken they where based in Italy?

Was it just me or when the the presenter asked the one dude(cant remember who) about a crash he had this week and the guys response was "its always $#!t when you crash but i'm OK". I think it was one of the dutch riders.

Yip - talk about an international team, South African Sponsor, Registered in Britain and Based in Italy with Italian Management and at one stage partly owned by a  US company i.e. Cannondale.

Now why did Paolini shave his beard? Not like I am a beard fan I just hate it when they change kit and appearances, cause it takes me a while to be able to spot them in the bunch again.
