Born, Raised and Busted

There was more racing in the Giro yesterday and it was a day full of brave breaks and exciting risks. Ex-pink jersey wearer Intxausti won the sprint after a vicious climb filtered out the pure sprinters. Nibali made his point with an attack that put Evans under pressure, Gesink showed up for the first time in the race, but then a mechanical put him back into the peloton and out of the limelight again and in the end the top three remained the same.

Closer to home, there was some fun news in terms of one of those stories of comeuppance that everyone can enjoy. For once a driver gleefully tweeting about clipping a cyclist was chased up by the police, and the victim identified as well. You can read the full story here, on the ipayroadtax site.

Ha!

Anyway, I promised a film from Brook MacDonald on the year he won his first World Cup event and stepped up with the big boys:
