Yep Michelle, I find any TT's boring to watch..... though I find the majority of road racing boring to watch unless its the mountains or the race is in the final few K's. Short attention span :D

I'll watch todays stage but no doubt not all of it, just keep an eye on it now and again then watch the end.

Well Sunday's finish got my heartrate up :shock:

On the slow-mo over the finish line, Cav let out a massive very naughty swearword.

Like to see any of the TV press getting anything out of him but grunts and a po face after that race.

Probably not.

He's been around for a while Graham anyhow! Only turned pro this year, but was with the GB Academy in Italy the last two years. He rode stagaire for Barloworld at the end of 2007 and won the Mountains jersey in the Tour of Britain that year, as a 19 year old. He is super strong, and could possibly be an even bigger star than Cav...

'Cos he'll get drug tested every day.

Oh, and 'cos that takes the pressure of defending the jersey off Cavendish and he can concentrate on not getting eliminated in the mountain stages and trying to win sprinters stages.

Oh, and perhaps he won't have to display the same petulance as yesterday - I mean he looked just like Moanchester United's incredible sulk, Ladyboy Ronaldo.

[quote="Sean Hogan - 何祥"]Menchov losing it in the final Km only to then still clink it was amazing. When did the Tout have a final day tat close. The past three weeks and firct hand experience have confirmed for me that the Giro is, for me, the premier grand tour.
