Congratulations on all involved in getting this event to come to the island of Ireland.
Mind you it will be like being in Amsterdam while they are here with all the people on drugs cycling around.
Stupid comment from you!!
Absolsolutely stupid. You could have at least had some credibility had hinted at a McQuaid conspiracy!
looking forward to it already. Sprinter stages though by the look of #2 and #3. Won’t suit our boys for a stage win unfortunately.
what are the logistics involved in smuggling the drugs they use in professional cycling into the country?
10 years too late bandwagoner
Can’t wait for this!
Genuine question, is Darach McQuaid related to Pat McQuaid?
Dunno mate.
Younger bro.
I.blame lance Armstrong
Mind the bike
So stage 2 is Belfast to Belfast 218km , cycling in a big circle I assume and then magically appear in Armagh the following day? Must be some drugs their on!
Trudy the big tours rarely start from where the finished the previous day.
Nibili did not win this years Giro so cannot defend the Rosa jersey,Chris Horner of RadioShack won it.
Sorry in fact I got the tours mixed up :-(
