Cycling 2014

I see Bruyneel got ten years ban during the week.

Bleating like a lamb about it too. He’s some piece of work that lad. The drugs are one thing, the vindictiveness smearing and lying another entirely.

He’s probably the most odious person in the entire sport. Which really is saying something.

In any sport. Apart from Ryan Giggs.

After Dan’s great performance on Wednesday you would have to fancy him today. Valverde and Purito are massive danger though. I wouldn’t rule out Mollema, Slaghter or Nibali either. It will be interesting to see how Froome goes.
I done Martin at 8/1, Rodriguez at 12/1 and Albasini at 150/1

What time are Eurosport covering this from?

1 p.m really looking forward to it, Tour of Turkey on at 11.15 a.m

Froome out, btw.

Wouldn’t win anyway. Kwiatkowski will win.

Should be a good finish now…

Disaster for Dan

Gutted. I was sure he’d win before he went down.

I love his moxy.

Martin had a right cut at it and still had the legs coming off the climb. Was poised to strike.

Yeah he’d made up the gap and was relaxing back into it I thought. Was shaping nicely for him.

Just saw this on Sky news, cruel luck, very cruel

Sky have called for Tramadol to be banned. The gall of them. They’re ā€œnot using it nowā€ apparently and want it banned. They have of course used it in the past but they don’t think that’s a problem, just seems so unfair that they don’t want to use it now so it stands to reason that nobody else should.

Sam Bennett riding in the four days of Dunkirk starting tomorrow. I expect him to go very well in this. He is 9/1 for the overall and 10/1 to win tomorrow’s stage.I’ll be doing him e/w in both. Demare is the obvious danger but his price is shocking.

Tour of California will be live on Eurosport later on.

SBW about to win the TT
