Sports Tours International have a truly International group of stars training with them this week on the 53×12 shake down for the coming season. According to Sports Tours Int. head honcho, Peter Davies there’s been some fireworks as Malcolm Elliott, Tom Danielson and Patrick Sinkowitz have been flying around the island at silly-quick speed.

Pictured above from right to left is; Enrico Gasparatto (Liquigas Italian RR champ 2005), Tom Danielson (yes, the Discovery rider), Malcolm Elliott (PCA) and T-mobile pro Patrick Sinkowitz, all pictured here with Ashley, a UK roadie who made it from 4th cat to 1st cat last year and apparently has trained with the big boys all week.

We’re glad to have missed that ragging. Peter says that they were flying up and down the road to the Cap Formentor lighthouse. Danielson on his TT bike by the looks of it. All set for the Giro then?

So far, we’ve been topping up the tan and enjoying some slightly more sedate miles today, out and back to Randa and about 80 miles.
