Isn't just a vacation with a bit of racing thrown in? That's how I see it at least.

 

The real stuff starts in Feb, imho.

Yeah I kinda got that feeling about it. One race I'd also love to watch in person. Aussie seems great if you're a visitor.

This is actually a really good move by the police.

 

Many countries are struggling with increased bicycle use in urban areas and as with any group of people, there are those who break the rules - raising tension between cyclists and other road users. By "pulling over" Team Sky (for breaking the law Nogal) the police get some good coverage (advertising) for the cause of trying to get it through to cyclists that they are not above the law or the rules of the road. Much more valuable than the usual advertising you get with any safety campaign.

 

Maybe there's even a slight chance that a driver sees it and changes his attitude towards cyclists. (Although achieving that seems to be the Devils own job!)
