I've already covered Larsson's sideline in surreal cartoons. So today's Larsson fact, is that he's quite the audiophile. Apparently he's made his own valve amp and speakers. Looks pretty nice, I might have to pop round one day and see how my TFT vinyl sounds on his system.
Mr Larsson was lucky enough to set off when the weather was still good. Not so Bradley Wiggins, who set off when there was all kinds of water about. He was taking it easy on the corners, but still did enough to take second.
Also off in the rain was last year's winner, Tony Martin. Maybe it was the combination of the rain and his white World Champ's skinsuit, but he failed to impress, and lost 25 seconds to Larsson. Also failing to impress were those Shlecks. With time trial kms aplenty in the Tour De France this year they'll have to do better, as they both lost about a minute in less than 10km. Or maybe, now that Andy Schleck won the 2010 Tour, he's realized that he's already achieved that Grand Tour win he's been after.
It's early days in the minileague, and things are looking pretty evenly matched so far. Looking at the teams it seems that Wiggins is a popular pick, so I think we can all agree that we hope he does well. Also I think you can make transfers to your teams, so if someone's looking a bit crap you can replace them.
Don't forget that the Fantasy Tirreno-Adriatico is now open, so you might as well pick a team for that too.
I've set up a minileague, but there seems to be some funny stuff going on with it. Try entering and see what happens.
