Yes, this horrible winter day of 12ºC, sunny and not a cloud anywhere in the sky. I don't know how I'll survive this.
*Sips hot chocolate*
Thats just unfair, maybe I'll get it at end of March if I'm lucky.
btw where do you live?

I would expect you to sip your famous local wine instead of a hot chocolate

During Winter here, 12C is incredibly cold, it''s usually about 15C-20C where I live.

But it rains way more than here, even Northern Europe or England in particular are no match for your raindrops. |

Really? I thought it rained a fair bit during the cooler months in Europe?
Well, it flooded near where I live about a week ago, and it's rained for 4 weeks straight, so maybe.

Precipitations (rain) :
Rennes (2007) : 660.3 mm / year (min : 42,6 (July) ; max : 69.1 (December))
Sydney (average) : 1 217 mm/year (min : 68.7 (September) ; max : 131.2 (March))
Temperatures :
Rennes (2007) : Yearly average : 11.6 °C (max : 18.5 (July) ; min : 5.2 (January))
Sydney (average) : Yearly average : 17.7 (max : 23.1 (February) ; min : 12.1 (July))
Monthly temperatures I gave are the average between the average of the highest and the lowest daily temperatures.
Rennes is in the country land, but 100 km away from the sea. Quite oceanic and halfway between Northern and Southern Europe.
Sorry for going off topic, btw. |

If i am not mistaken, nobody has reported about Giro della Calabria so far.
Viviani was great, he won both stages and the overall, he has most wins this season, it is five now!

You guys are lucky. In Romania, we're burried in snow and freeze at -20C at night. But still the dvb-c is working and I'm looking forward to tomorrow's long uphill finish. No outdoor training till end of march for me, that's life... |

Yeay. I won a bet. Should have bet more than 5PCM& with a quote of 2.60.
Great win for Greipel and also nice to see Galimzyanov and Kittel that good. Although I would have liked to see Selig being the Katusha rider. Maybe in 1-2 years.
What about Steegmans? According to Quickstep Boonen was supposed to be his lead out in Oman after being upside down in Qatar. Haven`t expected this to work out for the team.

Nice top 5 for Sagan, but i expected some pure sprinters like Kittel or Greipel to fade earlier on that hill and not contest the sprint.
Anybody knows if the tempo was not so high in the last 15 kms and if Oss was leading Sagan or vice versa?

Well, that "hill" obviously had an incline of less than 1%

Didnt know that, so it was not "obvious" for me, thanks for clearing that.

The term "obviously" was meant like "apparently" or "it seems like", I didn't meant to give that a personal meaning towards you at all
