Sagan looks like he is snubbing the Olympic RR in favour of the MTB XC then.
Quite surprised by that, as although I know he isn't a specialist climber he does alright and the Olympic XC course is hardly flat!
He was a prodigy in road, XC and CX as a Junior and probably only moved to the road for the money (who wouldn't).
It will be interesting to see how he goes, although I can't see him winning, or getting onto the podium myself.

I loved the last stage, great effort from Cummings and really got me excited for the TdF seeing 75% of the big names duking it out.
... I can't help it, but Dan Martin cracks me up every time I see him going for it. He's a brilliant rider and I've loved seeing him come on over the last few years, but amongst the pack he looks like some local farmer's son who's just grabbed a bike out of the shed and has sneaked onto the course! Poems will not be written about his souplesse and poise on the bike!

His head bobbing is second only to Degenkolb!

Cummings stage win at least years tour was awesome, he will be a marked man this year but I think he'll bag another stage.
News today that the 211 coded blood bags used as evidence in the Operation Fuentes scandal will be handed over to the authorities for investigation...
Cummings was great, and that mugging on the Magny-Cours circuit (IIRC) last year was excellent.News today that the 211 coded blood bags used as evidence in the Operation Fuentes scandal will be handed over to the authorities for investigation...
The blood bags are all outside the statute of limitations now, so symbolic at best.
No Dani King in the GB Olympic squad. Interesting decision but TT rider must start road race apparently so that means Armitstead as best GB medal prospect and Pooley are two of three places. Apparently they've given the third spot to Nikki Harris who is a fantastic rider and easily as deserving as King imho. Harris has been in great form and although a cx racer, is as strong as anyone else in the field and could be really useful for Armitstead.
I assume after her accident King was not training in the track squad?
