| It was sunny. It was not warm. Several female drivers. Easterly wind, which was nice for a change. Starting to over develop the tan line on the right arm though. Need to train in the morning, or to the West more often. |

 | Jogging 45:00 [3] | |
| |
| Banter jog with the Haries. Preceded and succeeded by learning the history of everything ever. It's a tough course. |

| Queens drive, 3 times, plus warming upwards and downwards. Lots of silly barriers across roads. Went past some guy in full Lampre kit going up the hill. Wearing a team top is one thing, but wearing the matching bibs is just too far. Only the guys in the team should wear full kit, otherwise it's just false advertising... |

| Banter jog around the Meadows in the morning. Calfs über-tight. Ran quite fast, sweated quite lots. Then some weetabix for breakfast and away we go.
The Giro d'Italia starts today, with a 23.6km Team Time Trial. There are 6 Brits in it this year, which might be a record for a Grand Tour. And we could be up for a couple of stage wins. Millar's Team Slipstream certainly have the best squad for the opening TTT, as captain he may even be let to cross the line first and get the pink leader's jersey. Cavendish could also be up for a sprint finish, although it's a pretty hilly giro this year. Early on stage 3 looks like it may come to a full peleton sprint. Stage 4, 6 & 8 could do, but they are a little hilly. Stage 9, 12 and especially 13 are perfect for sprinters. I doubt he will continue after that. Stage 14 is in the mountains and stage 15 is one of the most brutal mountain stages I have ever seen. |
