The Warped World of Barry Astral

Fresh back from his own tour of the Channel Islands, he gives us the benefit of his own take on the first days of the Giro...

'The Giro – Cav’s opening gambit.

"‘Pinky’ and ‘perky’ – that’s Cav, as history is made.
But, Pettachi, after offering to play chess with the leader of the Brit Pack, now knows his strategy and his end game proved to be the better.

Having accepted and failed the challenge, Cav has now dumped his chess board in the bin and offered a rematch with Russian roulette.
Instead, however, the LPR man has now, with both barrels, done the double.

Today, Monday’s stage 3, after an untimely pile-up in the last 10 kilometres, the man in Pink was left with only pink cheeks, after a frantic chase to get back on.
So any bets on the next British rider for the next Maglia Rosa !?!?!?"
