Hot racing.

A very surprising day at Tirreno-Adriatico. Not only did Tyler Farrar win but he came around Cavendish in the sprint. Maybe Cavendish started a little early but how many times has someone come around Cavendish in the sprint? Does not seem that happens often and Farrar made it look relatively easy.


Contador stamped his authority at Paris-Nice on the mountaintop finish at La Montagne de Lure. The final ascent made for some good racing that this video doesn't show because the decisive moves had already been made.

Jens Voight started the action but a small group led by Contador bridged up. Contador kept the pressure on and soon only Schleck and Sanchez could keep the pace. The amazing thing was the way Contador broke the race open. Normally, he has these incredible surges while dancing out of the saddle. Today he sat on the front, followed by Schleck and Sanchez. Then, all of a sudden, he simply rode away. He didn't even seem to attack. I'd say Schleck popped but Sanchez had nothing either and just sat on Schleck's wheel. He looked like a mini-Ullrich or Indurain.
