Can be a bit hit and miss but this year's looks a good one.

Inrng preview [url= http://inrng.com/2016/03/paris-nice-2016-preview/ ]here[/url]. A good line up (Contador, Porte, Thomas, Dumoulin, Bardet, etc.) A good route. Plenty of gravel roads and a decent wall on todays stage (stage preview [url= http://inrng.com/2016/03/paris-nice-stage-1-preview-vendome/ ]here[/url]). A surprise Prologue winner too. And all live on Eurosport (2:15 today) 🙂

Tirreno Adriatico starts midweek too (another [url= http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/2016-tirreno-adriatico-5-riders-to-watch/ ]preview[/url]).

Still 19k to go. Looks a very thinned out group.

Good racing so far. A bit of controversy yesterday. An tricky uphill finish today too.

Tirreno Adriatico starts today with a team time trail.

Not the nicest weather for bike racing. May be neutralized?

Looks grim. Quite a bit of criticism form the riders for not doing something about it during yesterday's stage. Predict the organisers will do... nothing.

Blimey that was a good stage yesterday. 15 seconds for Gee over Contador. Should be a good stage today...

And Gallopin too. A keg for Henao!

What was the final gap? 5 seconds? Wellens saved him 4.

Ooh a GC win by 4 seconds. If Contador had crossed the line first they'd have been equal on time.

Well whatever you think of Contador the racing is better for having him there.

Good finish to today's TA stage too. Another second place for you know who. In with a good shout for the overall tomorrow though with a 10k ITT to finish.
