Brilliant vid Stat....put a smile on my face this grey morning. Great to see the legend Hans Rey in there too - hes still got it!
Never been able to do a wheelie for more than 0.437563738939 seconds, so big "kudos" to all of those riders making it look so easy!

Tro Bro Léon today took an already brilliant race to next levels of brilliance thanks to perfect weather for it.
If you haven't watched it yet, I'd advise going for the full live coverage rather than highlights. It's well worth it!

Watched it all last night on replay...mental! The last few TBL editions has really brought the race into the spotlight, & I love watching it going over the ribinou every year. Absolutely brilliant yesterday in those conditions - but have to feel for those riders who came a cropper! Not sure I would want to go over muddy farm-tracks on slicks! Pretty sure Stats "Strat Bike" would be a far better option....
This was perhaps the comedy moment of yesterday though...going the wrong way and then crashing. Oh dear.

The Strat got a lovely promenade on Saturday, I could tell EVERYONE was jealous!
It seems unlikely to debut at The Albion on Sunday.
I the meantime here's a little light porn

Velogames update:
From 16th to 1418th very quickly.
Didn't help that I had Yates, Ciccone, Bilbao, and Kelderman all fail me big time yesterday. Not renewing their contracts for next season
But at least I picked up the KOM jersey with Rosa

Disappointed to see you drop out of the SuperClassico series. Thought we were going to make a three way battle of it.

Totally forgot - with other things going on its been difficult to keep tabs on all the races they do on there. Only just remembered the Giro game in time tbh
I'm going to attempt hacking up a rechargeable LED light and fitting it inside an ever ready.
I was in Brussels at the weekend and those dynamos we all used in the 80s are still all the rage!

The excellent "Brighton Breezy" ride in support of AITC is back in July after a break of a couple of years. This really is a great day ride and supporting AITC as well. Whats not to like?

Not entirely sure The Strat could manage the hills.

Magnificent - Biniam Girmay becomes first black African to win Grand Tour stage

Absolutely gutted to read earlier that Girmay wont be starting today because of his freakish accident on the podium yesterday. Hes been phenomenal in this Giro so far.
I hope the report was wrong, but seeing how he was bandaged up when he came out of hospital last night...it doesn't look good.

Just been confirmed on Five Live. Really sad, such a momentous occasion and then bloody Prosecco puts him out.

Not the first time either as MVDP had the same issue on stage 1.
They should just get each stage winner to open a can of San Pellegrino from here on I reckon....much safer.

It's all Barbers fault, LIDS!
