After a big Spring and Ardennes Classics season where Pog went ballistic only to be finally stopped by someone else bringing him down in a crash early in La Doyene, and Coolangatta Gold continued to add to his monument collection, the Half Wheelin' boys went back to altitude for a another training and preparation cycle.
They wisely avoided the filthy weather of the Giro, but still watched closely on the tellie provided by their monastery-like, high mountain accommodation. Don't worry, they didn't miss a thing. G, Rog, Ben Healy, and of course, the amazing "Stage of Pinot" all get a thorough rinsing.
As we all know, no one analyses it as good as Half Wheeler's, and Ross and Scott had been inundated with requests from the press for their thoughts on the recently released Tour de France: Unchained tv series. Bottom line? Don't fuck with Wout, drop the fake commentary overlay, and enjoy another brilliant look at the phenomenon that is Le Tour.
Finally, in deeply sad turn of events, the boys pay their respects to Bahrain Victorious rider Gino Mader, who tragically died while during the Tour de Suisse, while descending a mountain toward the end of the stage.
