MN Pro-Cycling Peloton - Spring Time Classics!! Starting with Milan-San Remo Sunday 23rd March

[PansBigChainring]

Resuming domestique duties ...we've raced away from the broom wagon that is a miserable winter and the dudes are up and racing on the Continent.

Milan-San Remo is first up with Cav looking to get his first race win of the season and with Petacchi and Renshawe in his lead out train (and one climb removed for safety reasons) this is where he could do it. It's live on Eurosport with highlights on Euro and Sky.

There are six other one-day classics before the Irish Giro in May, so rather than doing all the research, I'd commissioned the Beeb to do it for me!
So here is a nifty guide to all of them in one easy go

The Irish Giro may get a bit of pure local interest traffic, so I'd started a new thread just for that celebration of all that is green, lycra and on two thin wheels, here...The Irish Giro

Attacks galore now... going to be an exciting finish.

This is like a track race!

RHAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHH

Wow, Cancellara gets it, the wily old racer. What a win!

Excellent finish - well done Spartacus!

Awesome, awesome finish. Brilliant, that had me edge of seat, shouting at telly, brilliant. Spartacus you rock.

Brilliant Sparky!!!

Drama - mine are 21 in August, 19 in early May and 17 at the end of this month. I have to be honest and say I don't miss doing their laundry, but dh is the laundry fairy in this household (poor man has had to take it over because depression has made it one of the jobs I struggle to deal with). but dh doesn't do ds2's washing for him when he brings it home - he gets pointed in the direction of the utility room and left to get on with it. We are very neglectful parents.

On the plus side, though, if he wants to come with us to see the Tour, we will bring him.

Lost did you see that! Spartacus with his shirt off, then downing a well-earned beer

He had his top off then Ah Fabien, if only you knew, we'd be awesome together .

LOVE cycling, it's not good enough to be fit, you need to work your brain to win.

Yes Drama, I did

Well, I suppose I'd better get cooking Sunday lunch then. I think there are two children in the house. Somewhere.

Fabian all sweaty and topless? Nope - can't say I noticed. [liar]

SDTG yours are very similar indeed to mine - DS1 will be 21 in October, DS2 turned 19 in February and DS3 will be 17 in September. Depression is a bugger isn't it - I've been there but am doing OK at the moment.

Whilst Fab's torso didn't do anything for me, what a track-style finish! And we go again next Sunday!

Same time, same place next week then?

Mais oui.
wondering where the rest of the peloton have gone...

See you all then - unless we check in for the Basque Tour during the week

I've set Paris-Roubaix to record, so I can't forget!

Basque tour you say? I'll start looking for information on that one. I think 2014 will be the year I learn about every single bike race they have

Spartacus

Fairly sure you are taking the piss there somehow but as I am utterly socially inept I am just going to enjoy gazing at his thighs beauty in comparison to a mere mortal.

Not at all. That's his dad with him.

I like this one better anyway Spartacus in action
