Weird bit of coincidence: in 2012, Thomas Voeckler won two Tour de France stages. In one he beat Sørensen, in the other it was Michele Scarponi who came in second.

Itamar Einhorn outsprints Sagan and Bol and takes his first ever career win  

 

Perfect timing in the sprint, against terrible timing by both Steimle and Sagan and terrible lead-out work by Bol's team.

CRO Race starts today. 

 

I will be attending the Sunday finale in person. Should be able to catch the peleton on two (!) spots.

Lots of wind and rain expected for Paris - Roubaix on Sunday, this could be epic (finally)!

 

Or, you know, it could once again be a dry disappointment, but one can keep hoping

A friend pretty close to promising rain during the weekend but timing is still pretty uncertain. Right now indeed looking like sunday (afternoon).

Meanwhile the women's race is looking more dry.

Latest news on the rain front for P-R is possibly a bit of rain for the women, a lot in the evening/night but mainly dry for the men's race.

Next year's Tour Down Under & associated events cancelled because Australians are a bunch of girly men.

Every single year the same crash at the same corner of Crikvenica.
