G's prep for the Giro is very nearly complete. Tour of the Alps was his last racing hit out before he heads for Italy and he breaks it all down for Luke in this week's Watts.

Luke himself is finally on the mend, following his concussion back in mid-March. Fingers crossed he'll be back on the bike with a vengeance soon.

He's keeping himself busy though, with two commentary stints on Eurosport over the past week. First up he called compatriot Stevie Williams winning Fleche Wallonne, and then was on air as Pogi decimated the field in typically stunning fashion at Liege.

G reckons he's now on Merckx level. What do you think? Let us know on Twitter: @Watts_Occurring.

We'll be back in a week's time for a bumper Giro preview... and then Grand Tour number one of the season will begin. Bring it on!
