Thanks for reading / commenting!

Sorry about format - is it the amount of [spoiler] use? I went with this to avoid people suffering a mass of images loading. Still a work in progress.

Yeah the spoilers aren't my preferred style to read. Or at least four per post. Stopping image flooding is nice of you but why not do one per post? Smile
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

I am a minimalist person so spoilers suited me, but the amount of clicking is excessive I agree!

Thank you for comments - I will change.

I feel format change is an improvement already! Thank you both for comments.

Stage Summary

Pre-stage favourite Nacer Bouhanni delivered as he beats Greg Van Avermaet in the sprint finish, repaying his team-mates for a near flawless lead-out at the conclusion of the 158.6km opening stage from Tour of Oman.

A breakaway of three (Alexandre Pichot, Mathew Hayman and Piotr Brożyna) stayed out all day until 3.4km from the finish when they were caught by the chasing peloton.

With no incidents of note the tour got underway to the liking of all involved.

"I escorted Froome for the first part of the race until more bidons were needed. Stannard took over Froome duties and I did the ferrying to and from the sports director car.

My legs felt strong until the last few km, then I had to take it easy just as the breakaway was caught and the sprint teams ramped it up."

Greg Van Avarmaet has been tipped by some within the peloton.

"Today was a new experience. We shared riding on the front with Cofidis. I was on bidons duty and tried to ride down the breakaway, but it was too fast by the time I tried.

At the bottom of the climb I was falling back but the steeper it got, despite no legs left I slowly began to catch up with Pete and the others."

"Ian rode on the front and suffered when we climbed. I suffered from my drops back to the team car and then to team at top of peloton.

Sergio and Froome I'm told looked strong until the final climb.

The time gaps are disappointing, but I am sure I will adjust to pace as the season goes on."

"With the race over in GC terms and some of the guys in bad form I ask in the morning briefing if I can go in the day's breakaway. Silence. Finally I was told to carry on my duties and to listen to the radio.

It never came. I know I haven't the legs. But we had no sprinter. So it is three hours in the saddle with no purpose."

Tuesday, 24 March
Gatteo - Gatteo 100.3km

Winner: Nikita Zharoven (Nankang - Dynatek)

A bumpy first stage of the tour gave the breakaway a slim chance of staying clear and that is exactly what happened when the sprinter's team failed to catch all-day stay away Nikita Zharoven, who took the stage with over a minute on the chasing peloton.

"Rain.

Dibben hit the ground hard at the bottom of the final climb. I wait for him, we start 1'54" behind the peloton, but catch by the top the back end.

My legs are strong, I don't think they have ever been so strong as today. I ride hard all stage and am the first Team Sky rider to cross the line.

I felt great until questioned by the team why I left Dibben - he looked strong and nobody radioed me to stay with him."

Giro d'Italia Preview

GC Favourites


Vincenzo Nibali (Astana Pro Team)


The 30 year old from Astana Pro Team is the number one favourite for Giro d'ltalia. Over the last weeks the results of Nibali were very promising. Nibali ended on a 3th place in Tour de Romandie. Next he also won Giro del Trentino. During Giro del Trentino, Nibali also won 2 stages.

Domenico Pozzovivo (Ag2r La Mondiale)


He's just a step below the top favourite but the cyclist of Ag2r La Mondiale still has a good chance on winning Giro d'ltalia. He had one of the best preparations of all for this race. An important race preparing for this race is Liege - Bastogne - Liege, Pozzovivo took the 3th place. He went on for another good result in Giro del Trentino where he finished 4th.

Fabio Aru (Astana Pro Team)


The number three favourite is Aru, he's not on the same level as the top 2 favourites but he's the best of the rest. Preparing for this race, Aru was able to take the 2nd place in Giro del Trentino.

Ryder Hesjedal (Team Cannondale - Garmin)


Spot four is for the 34 year old, it would be a surprise if he wins the race since he's not one of the main favourites, but we still see an important role for him in this race. During the buildup to this race, Hesjedal took the 5th place in Giro del Trentino.

Rafal Majka (Tinkoff-Saxo)


The cyclist of Tinkoff-Saxo is the last on the list, he might not win Giro d'ltalia, but we believe he can play an important part. An important race preparing for this race is Tour de Romandie, Majka took the 4th place. Next to that he achieved 8th place in Giro del Trentino.
