Team Sky management finalising roster
After Vincenzo Nibali confirmed that he would remain at Liquigas, TeamSky has refused to rule out a move for Garmin’s Bradley Wiggins, saying that there is a possibility that he might ride for them in 2010. Speculation has been rife that Wiggins would leave Garmin for Sky after finishing fourth at the Tour and Sky’s desire to hire British riders. “If Bradley is available then of...
Jiggered legs
Absolutely gutted at the moment, as I managed to give myself a freak injury last week while playing footy. Been resting it up this weekend, and with a few more day’s rest I’m hoping to be back out on the bike this weekend…

Stage 11
What with work, no freeview and a game of footy tonight I’m not sure I’m going to catch any of the Tour today - have to be highlights on the ITV Player tomorrow again I fear. A poor show, but hoping to see more once I head to France on Saturday…
