Transalp hits Italy

This years Transalp mountain bike stage race crossed over into Italy today to finish in livigno. The infamous McCabe brothers are battling hard and pushing into a top 30 position. Gerry is nursing a torn achilles tendon which is hard enough as it is but... to make things even more challenging, the pedal on his strong side broke off. So he had to do 15km climb with only his bad leg! What a savage! Tomorrow's stage is 104km long with a monster climb to finish. Best of luck to all the Irish.
