Gen Posted June 23, 2017 Share Now Le Tour is creeping closer and most of us are "stuck" at work during the first part of the stages etc, who do you follow on twitter to keep you updated etc on cycling? Here is who I have found to be entertaining and informative: @Laura_Meseguer - insight and press @ProCyclingStats - stats @TheRaceRadio - insght updates @inrng - Updates and insight @Cyclocosm - HTRWW , insight and a laugh @faustocoppi60 - My favorite at the moment @Digger_forum - Massive Sky Fan @6WattsPerKg - Richie Porte's second account @teampuresavage - a laugh, very little insight. @Grootlem - A South African twang Obviously I am not talking about riders, team owners, managers etc. Anyone else worth while?For the Italian side of things Take a look at Ciro Scognamiglio (@cirogazzetta): https://twitter.com/cirogazzetta?s=09 From the Gazzetta..his articles are also very good. Although his tweets are few and far between. .if there is a transfer scoop Ciro will know about it.. plus he is a character to follow.

Gen Posted June 23, 2017 Share I still think Kristoff miss all the work done for him by Luca Paolini. Never been the same since he was caught for powdering his nose.they def miss the experience Paolini brought to the team. .but Zabel is stepping up really nicely.

Erroli8a8 Posted June 23, 2017 Share to win this year the GC guys will have to start pushing early for Yellow. Once you have the Yellow it is easier to hold it now than to fight for it when you don't have it. Its changed from the Lance days were he did not want it early.

Gen Posted June 23, 2017 Share Giro - Vuelta if he wants a doubleSky unfortunately are a TDF team as long as what he can win the TDF they will not let him ride the Giro... I think he would love a real go at the other 2 more so perhaps to prove that he isn't just a TDF winner.

Yes and no, due to certain changes (or maybe not) in todays cycling its hard for a team to control from early on. not impossible but a lot harder.

He was always in the right place at the right time and making sure his teams protected riders were well looked after on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was always in the right place at the right time and making sure his teams protected riders were well looked after on the road.Also didnt see him being overly concerned about entering other lead out trains with Kristoff tucked on his wheel. Also, I am sure the concerns raised by the lead out train were also dealt with swiftly by Paolini. Gen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can add Tiej Benooit to the list instead. Or that young Cannondale rider Gen and Jakkals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
