Interesting, is Danny Martino the GC hope for Ettix

Good effort today

That rumour has been coming along for a while

 

The Skyborgs are a strong outfit hey

Landa's surge was crucial in the whole finalè

 

I reckon Aru is going for another stage win

Dan Martin is a good GC bet for these sort of races. Not too sure about Grand Tour's though. Still one heck of a rider and had a good day today, hung well with the majority of the 'big' heads of state.

 

Landa been pretty aggressive in the Dauphine so far. I wonder though if Sky haven't played an early hand here. Yesterday has clearly shown what we can expect from them today (Saturday - it's early morning as I type this) and Sunday as well as at the TdF. The other teams would have taken notice of it. Essentially if they play it smart they should in theory be able to cover both Landa and Froome. This foreknowledge should really help BMC the most seeing as they will be taking both Porte and TvG to the TdF.

Would a picture with Sagan wearing the world champion jersey count as cool?

A pic of him getting a haircut, with your reflection in the mirror sitting behind him in the BarberShop would be supper.

Yip, I reckon a bit like Porte he has to prove his capability over 3 weeks

Really like Dan Martin - chilled guy wth a big heart

Aaaah, Gen, how I would shriek like a 4 year old-at-a-spider if I should get a selfie opportunity with The Sagz, completely undignified and crazy  :whistling:

:blush:

I am most impressed.. Did you have a chat?

 

Not really, he was being seriously hurried up by the dude escorting him

Went like this:

Wife: Peter Peter pose for a picture please

Escort: Peter hurry up

Sagan: smile

Me: Thanks Peter, good luck for the race

Sagan: smile, move on

 

 

Wow

Hope you touched his butt cheek

Or did you, hence his grin

 

Awesome, Swiss'

 

I should have, pity i did not think about that would have been a giggle.

 

I came very close to doing the "bunny ears" peace sign behind his head with my left hand, had to resist serious temptation.
