    Inspirational video!

    I am working on my climbing, I am getting there... my coach is insistent I race a certain race in the series I will be racing this summer, because of it's hills... alas, I shall be running up and down some in stead during a mountain marathon in the same weekend... so we won't find out quite how well I climb until the Nationals, which are local to me, to my luck!

    To win the tour you have to not only have a contender but also a very very strong team
    Bear in mind Astana are going to be virtually unbeatable for 3/4 years. Armstrong mey be given it this time but Contador i can see winning it 5 times.

    Also you have to be able to control the peloton, especially at the big races.
    Cavendish is gaining quick respect but only in sprinting and stage wins. Im not sure if he will toe the line with a British Cycling team. He isnt that type of rider.
