Hans and Rob reflect on La Vuelta a España, Tour of Ireland, Tour of Missouri, the UCI World Championship Time Trial, and preview the Road Race.

Where would you look, but to an Australian homepage for news from a World Championship RR won by an Aussie?  Why, OzCycling.com, of course!

If you're a regular NFTOS listener / viewer / subscriber / reader / etc, then you've most likely read of Salads In Space, through NFTOS event postings. 

However, the music of Charles Billard, Jerry Gordon and Rick Tuazon, as Salads In Space, has not been uploaded for your listening pleasure here before.

This one is called Plink Plonk Muses.

The Tour of Missouri kicks off with a star-studded field. Mark Cavendish takes the stage as Christian Vande Velde (broken hand), Heinrich Haussler, Tom Zirbel and others go down in the final straightaway.
