Bring on Giro I think Evans particuarily how he motered past Contador could be rated favorite particuarily as he has set himself for this for a long time.
Looking forward to Liege-Bastogne-Liege which I am not sure if Contador is riding??
Great win for Cadel, be interesting to see what Aussie press has to say

Contador didn't look like he exploded...but he had no punch at all at the finish.
Contador drove from Spain...of course he is riding LBL! .

Just watched it, epic win over a very strong field. Not the same as beating Contador on a "Tour" climb, but will give Cadel enormous confidence. How good is he going

I'm warming to the new Cadel, but still like him heaps more than Contadornorbs wrote:Excellent result. I don't like the bloke, but he is a hell of a cyclist.
Now if I can only work out haow to get Eurosport without having to pay for all the other Foxtel/et al channels, I'll be a really happy man

The last 200 m he just exploded, I thought he was dropped early on in the climb and he bridged that gap with no help.
I think he is going all out for the Giro and not worrying about the tour so much.
Also dont forget teh Tour De Romandie is on ONEHD next week, it starts with a prolouge.
And tour of flanders is replayed this sunday on sbs.
we should ahve a thread for upcoming viewing of any races and also any good sites/streams that we find.
