Nice to see Joshua Edmondson get a mention 
Even more so now I guess. Josh probably never fitted into Sky and the strict rules.
He still got a lot to show and nice An Post gave him a shot.
Yeah it was better for him in the long run to leaves Sky and now he will have more freedom at An Post rather than be a domestique.
I think it's more to do with his lack of work ethic and terrible tactical sense that lost his place at sky not any personal decisions, it's a good job he's naturally talented |

Who would have thought that the tight chicane 200 metres before the finish in Dunkerque would lead to a crash. Surprised it was such a small one tbh.
Catalunya organizers 2.0.

If the peloton had not packed it in so easily at the 4-Jours de Dunkirk they would have caught them before the line. Break tried their best to cat and mouse themselves out of the podium.

Young Czech rider Daniel Turek wins the fourth stage of the Tour d'Azerbaidjan as the four-man breakaway overwhelm the chase efforts of the peloton, bearing in mind these are 6-man teams. Not so much a sprint for victory and more a successful very late attack on the other three in the break.
Pretty sure Brenton Jones and Drapac thought they had won the stage given the celebration, woops...
23 year-old Russian rider Evgeny Shalunov beats a bunch of Spaniards and Portuguese riders to the stage victory at Stage 1 of the Vuelta Ciclista Comunidad de Madrid.

A win for Fraile, while Konovalovas takes the leader's jersey.

Well, I think I pass on the wood cutting
I get enough with Giro and Amgen ... The Sunday is covered, and if those wouldn't be enough one could take a peek at Dunkerque in between.
Then of course Wood cutting could be your idea of ice hockey, mate. Tough and hard enough, and a lot of sticks do splinter. (World Championship is on for the moment, and soon that precious Cup in my Avatar will be the target)

Meanwhile at 4-Jours de Dunkerque, while the Giro d'Italia taking up the spotlight, it was Topsport Vlaanderen's Edward Theuns who wins the fifth and final stage. GC taken out by Team Marseille 13 KTM's Ignatas Konovalovas, so a huge chapeau to French continental team.

Good win from Theuns as well, he seems at least as good as Van Asbroeck last year.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.
