Anyway, I won't be betting on whoever it is heads up the Sky team this year. Dirty Bertie is back and Nibali is on fire.

In other news, my recording of the Giro mountain time trial yesterday didn't work. I'm pissed off as MTTs aren't all that common and are great if you like to watch people go through lots of stupid suffering.

Edit: I see Danilo Di Luca of Milli Vanilli has been busted for EPO: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/dani...sitive-for-epo out of the Giro.

Nibali won't ride the tour, he'll target the Vuelta and then the worlds. Astana signed Fulgsang to captain at the tour. I think the thought about Wiggins pulling out of the tour was that he might choose to do the same as Nibali as riding all three GT's is pretty unusual.

I guess there will never be a repeat of this, which is a shame but to be frank I'm buggered if I'd want to cycle in this!!
