I think it's fair to say big things are expected from the Sky 'Classics' squad, this spring.
G, Stan, Bernie, BW is talking himself up for Flanders (or Roubaix can't remember which).
Stan, and from what you say G are going well.

What an odd finish line there at Andalusia. Very steep, then the tarmac ends in what looks like rough cobbles just a few yards over the finish line. The finishing riders seem to have no where to go causing a big bunch up for those coming after and subsequent dismounts. Is this a cycling theme park and we're in the Flanders section being treated to a 'berg' simulation

How do you react to blue tyres?
You won't be the only geek to go spastic at celeste tyres.

I've got red tyres! I'm a bit of a sucker for red coloured bike items.

I saw a guy riding a Specialized Allez (black frame and forks) with celeste bar tape the other day, I had to restrain myself. If he had celeste tyres I would be on the front of the Argus by now, headline 'Bike Colour Coordination Nazi kills MAMIL'

Has anyone here got a nokia lumia 520 (windows phone) ?
The reason I ask is because want to see if anyone has a bike case for it.

It would appear Colin isn't the only one.
I must have said this before, back in the day.
When 3 of us were riding x days a week, every week, we might occasionally have the 'lottery win-fantasy bike' musing.
We'd head of to Maestro in Bognor:-
Me - Time RXR-VIP, campag throughout with blood red accessories.
Phil - Colnago blah blah blah (one of the long names!!!)- Campag and Mavic wheels, black and white.
Colin - That red one will do.

Would you have been the headline.
Or would that be your t'internet chum slapping the corpse around with a green saddle.

I love the windows phones, I had a bike case for my iPhone but was just seeing if anyone had one for the nokia which attracted to a bike.

I see they are available: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Water-Resistant-X-Large-Universal-Adjustable-Shocksock/dp/B00BN8RAI8
Never used one myself though. My old N8 goes in my back pocket with Endomondo running. No Strava available for the N8 unfortunately.
Has anyone ever seen Orlandi and Boonen in the same room, together?

Bloody Hell, you're right. I was shaking my head at this until I reminded myself what Boonen looked like. Uncanny!
Someone has (had) him in their team.
I'm not going to be brave enough to point the finger, because I just can't quite remember.
All I remember was admiring the optimism.
