No Roche or Deignan for the Tour De France
Edit: Sky played down the leak, and Froome tweeted a pic of him with Roche on TDF recon, so maybe it's ok.

Great win for Brammeier today.

Roche is in, Deignan isn't though.

Very nice piece with Bennett: http://www.independent.ie/sport/othe...-31352175.html

It's been a pretty quiet Tour so far, apart from a couple of crashes, and Dan Martin's 2nd place. The drugs shadow continues to hang over the sport and it will be interesting if something more than cocaine turns up (as with Paolini). The banning of Sky's motorhome apparently has nothing to do with what they have inside, just that all riders should suffer the same, apparently. Having watched the Armstrong docu on Saturday morning.........

No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Mental crash- Brammeier has had some awful crashs down the years. Bennett back in action at the Artic Race in Norway. Not clear yet whether Martin and Roche will race the Vuelta.

He was their main man at San Sebastian. But while he was in the front group didn't make top ten. But yeah.. although on the other hand the extra money from LeTour must have been nice.

Super win for Bennett in Norway. Some surge from a bad position. http://www.stickybottle.com/races-re...o-be-believed/
Roche going to Spain .......
He has also come second in the Vuelta in the past: http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/othe...pana-1.2319753
Must have missed that one!

Martin going to the Vuelta also. Looks like he is joining Etixx next year which is interesting. Obviously they're a superb classics outfit- but how often will Martin be the main man? Not too worried as his class in the one day races is such that he'll be grand anyway.

Direct replacement for Kwiatkowski for Ardennes week I would've thought? Vaughters never gave him sole leadership anyway. If anything, he might have more freedom in Grand Tours, as he won't have a pretender like Talansky whinging in the background about having full team support.

Ryan Mullen to join Cannondale—Garmin. Serious potential there and a good move for him. http://cyclingtips.com.au/2015/08/pa...ondale-garmin/

Except for the 1st road stage of then.... Great performance from both Nico and Dan. Dan's timing has been a bit of a balls this year so - been strong (and in some cases strongest and fastest), but in the wrong position or left it too late. Plenty more opportunities left though!

And what's weird about that is he's usually the best tactician in the peleton for finishes like that.
Roche should be in the combo jersey today
