Thanks for all your kind messages. BF & I have actually been living together for about 8 years so I kinda know what I'm letting myself in for , but it'll be nice to be officially recognised as part of the same team.

All messages for the Giro lads duely noted and hopefully I'll get some good pics too.

Smurf - ever considered Cadel Evans? He used to ride mtb so you'd have plenty talk about. I'll take an empty suitcase and see what I can do.
