Just been looking at the website for dubaitour.com/and noticed "The Dubai Tour jerseys will be designed by Versace, the famous luxury and fashion Italian company. Colours, patterns, forms: a touch of glamour and style will decorate the winners on the podium. Versace S.p.A. was founded in 1978, Gianni Versace S.p.A. is one of the leading global fashion design houses.

It didn't look that sunny but a lot drier than here in Devon at the moment. It must be appalling on the Somerset levels after last night rain.

Too many races to keep track of, nice luxury that. Men in Dubai and Australia, Women in Qatar and there is racing in the Low Countries. Best racing so far has to be the Qatar one, on both stages the riders have torn up the flat stage script and really gone for it.

Quite surprised with the spread of times across the opening 10K TT at the Dubai tour 37 seconds across the top 10, thought it would be closer than that More details HERE

I think the wind for the later runners caused some issues. Tony Martin wasn't happy at being forced to go last because the conditions weren't as good.

Messy sprint in Dubai, too many trains and a cross wind.

Watched both the race in Dubai and the one in Qatar and all I can say is that it is a real pity the men don't race the way the women do. No leadout trains, no carefully timed catches and attacks everywhere and anywhere - and as Vos isn't racing this other people are getting a chance to win.

I found a feed via a twitter post yesterday, still looking for one today. If I find one I'll post it.
