Geraint Thomas needs to have a good season this year. Think sky are giving him the opportunity to prove his worth in Oz to see where he will fit in and to see if he can reach his potential.

Good young rider, blew the down under tour on Friday night but that wasnt entirely his fault, I think he has really good potentialComment

Slagter looks a real talent though too, he was really impressive. I don't know what his time trialling is like but he's going to be a contender in the Classics at least in a couple of years..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

I'm going to make an effort and watch some Classics racing this year.
Could be that I find Belgian and Italian bikes appealing at the moment and their heritage leads me to Classics racing!Was muß, das muß.Comment

It's taken me ages to enjoy Classics racing after getting into cycling through watching stage racing. Even now it can feel anticlimactic because basically there's just a race and someone wins (I know, incredible insight from me there). The tension/excitement doesn't build in the same way as a stage race, simply because it's usually a question of riders dropping out of contention one by one. Even when there's a mass sprint it's just "oh look, he's won".
But it's still great of course. It's cycling.
Milan-San Remo
Paris-Roubaix
Ronde van Vlaanderen

Giro d'Italia to start in Ireland
Organisers of cycling's prestigious Giro d'Italia event are expected to confirm that next year's race will start in Ireland.
Plans to hold stages both sides of the border are to be outlined during a launch event, it is understood.
Tourism officials and government representatives from the Republic and Northern Ireland are likely to attend the events at the Titanic Belfast visitor's centre and Dublin's civic offices.
It will be the first time the race has come to Ireland, meaning cycling's two Grand Tours will visit Britain and Ireland next year, with the Tour de France starting in Yorkshire.
The Republic welcomed the Tour de France in 1998 when the first three days of the race took place in the country.
The event's confirmation follows reports in the international media which had claimed that the race would start in Belfast over the May bank holiday weekend and would also take in Dublin before it moves to Italy.
Also known as the Corsa Rosa, the Giro started in Denmark last year before heading back to Italy for the rest of the event.
A cross-border submission to host the opening stages of the Giro d'Italia in 2014 was put together by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB) and Failte Ireland in conjunction with Stormont and the Irish government.
Like the Tour de France, the Giro has a "Grande Partenza" (big start) which can take place in other countries.
That rug really tied the room together.Comment
