  • Cycling- Criterium du Dauphine. Its the most important stage race in the lead up to the tour.
    Unfortunately Dan Martin had a bad spill on day one and has been struggling to finish in the main group from day to day, though he is showing signs of improvement. Fingers crossed for his tour debut at the end of the month.
