TDS Stage 3 - Sagan Wins Stage, Cunego Takes Lead

If like me, you were watching the Tour de Suisse today, you would have seen young Peter Sagan winning the stage, while the slightly older Damiano Cunego took the race lead.

Twenty one year old Sagan is the rising star of the Liquigas Team, and might have to carry the Italian squad's hopes at the Tour, as so far this year Ivan Basso has been shit and I can't see him doing much by July. Sagan may have won the stage, but his breakaway companion Cunego took the Leader's Jersey.

There was a time, when the then young Cunego was the rising star of Italian cycling, and earned himself the nickname of "the little prince". He's been a bit hit and miss since then, and now he's nearly thirty, the nickname of "the little prince" is maybe a bit creepy. Anyhooze, he's got the lead at the mo, and he's looking pretty chuffed.

What are those scores? I hear you ask. These are the scores and I'm liking how they look.

On to tomorrow then, and there looks to be a let up with the big climbs, so the overall may stay with Cunego for a while longer. It still looks a bit lumpy on the run-in to the finish, but there's nothing too big, so I'm hoping for a win from Cav.
