Jungles is defo someone for us to rave about I reckon - hell he is a MG vesuvio-ite so he gets the thumbs up from all here and he has stopped riding for the US Postal borg team whatever it is called now Star Trek or something stupid - Lance I know you are still shadow over it so F*** off. Anyway Jungles is like Skujins (or Skiddypants) big one for us to cheer massively as he rides for Quicksteppers now and they may be as thick as pigshit those boys but we all sorta love em.
Porte is blandy bland bland - that said he did disappearing act in Algarve chrono last year irc. Then went on massive win spree in spring so we should wait and see. Soft tapping up Green Brown Booger for sure for him.
Never saw Topsport producing anyone who enjoyed hot chugging up the lumpy stuff, always thought they preferred chewing up the mud on the cobbly stuff. Will be following De Tier though Floris is such a lovely girly name and all

Great result for Edvald, he certainly has started 2016 really nicely chrono plus hill top fin. He is looking lean too, the mind wonders whether he may be up there on Green (Brown) Mountain.
Nice to see Pozzovivo up there too for me, just perhaps Giro will not be Nibbles procession!

Jungels lost a minute it seems, wasn't expecting that.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

EBH will never be the rider many thought he would become but the move to MTN/Dimension Data certainly has breathed life into a flagging career

Tuned in just in time to see Bennati win the stage. First victory since 4 years.. seems like this is the year where the doms strike gold.

Was that Lobato in 3rd or was it Valverde? If it's Lobato then i'm surprised he couldn't hold Bennatis wheel. |

He won Prato last year.
But this is indeed his first victory in a mass sprint in almost 4 years. All this time I've been wondering why he doesn't try sprints anymore. Seems like his great leadout in Dubai made him realise he can still do it.

Alright, thanks for correction. Yeah good to see he still got it. When riding GTs, he usually protects Contador but small stage races are definitely good ground for him.
Kittel wins first stage of Algarve ahead of Greipel. Some gaps in the results with some GC rider losing bit of time, I wonder if that will be corrected tho.

Boasson Hagen and Nibali
What happened to Jungels
Nice win by Bennati.Bouhanni was terribly positioned and got only 6th.lobato could have done better as well. |

Obviously all the drugs he must be on now he's left Sky (My rolling eye emoji doesn't seem to be working, but there would be one here if possible ) |

Great stage victory for EBH in stage 2 of Tour of Oman. In Algarve, some strange gaps happened and Greipel lost to Kittel Nice victory for Bennati too

Damn, Kittel is on fire. Cav and Greipel will have to step up their game to steal stages from Kittel this year. |

pretty senseless...Greipel was missguided on a roundabout with half of the peloton 2kms to go, so that he came on 30th position into the uphill drag...
