10 things I think I think: Tour of Southland

Ok so here is the new friday feature.

1. Its reputation for being a tough tour is well earned.


2. Thank God the whole tour wasn't held in Bluff like conditions, more so for Joe's sake.


3. Spending only 4 weeks of the 10 weeks leading into the tour training isn't great prep.


4. Banna cake makes good race food, especially when the icing is in the middle of the cake so it doesn't stick to the tin foil.


5. Some guys never saw the front of the bike race for 900+kms, and I'm not talking being at the front either.


6. Is being 67th on gc really that much better than 68th?


7. The boys in black and white rode alot better than most of has had thought. Oddy seemed to be love feeding it to himself, especially over the top of blackmount.
   
8. I wasn't credited with my sprint point!


9. You cant explain the tour to people who haven't experienced the joy of it all


10. Doug Bath saved the tv coverage from being a complete embarassment
