After a month of semi classics and classics, May sees the first grand tour of the season kick off on Saturday. The Giro d'Italia. Wiggins vs Nabali will be the battle that we all want to see. Ryder Hesjedal will be there or there abouts as well.

The Operatin Puerto case closed yesterday. Fuentes banned from practice for 4 years and given a one month suspended prison sentance. Bafflingly though, Spanish authorities decide to add to the omerta surrounding doping in cycling by not revealing the identities of the blood found 211 from 35 different people. Spanish anti doping have said that they will apeal the decision to destroy the blood.

Chris Froome and Wiggins rumble on about leadership in the TdF, creating headlines, publicity for Sky and confusion for their rivals.

4 Days of Dunkirk starts today. Tour of California is 12th-19th May, Peter Segan to dominate again like he did last year?
