    Does anyone have any idea what Richie Porte is doing in Ireland? It seems like he's a little lost if he is recce'ing the W200.

    More importantly, why weren't we invited?

    As luck would have it I saw him riding around Howth on Sat and again sat having a coffee with two guys outside Mauds and once again riding down past Bull Island.

    I was driving into town along the coast from Portmarnock about 1.30pm on Sat with the wife and 2 fellas, one in Sky kit were heading in Howth direction from Clontarf, I said to the missus I swear that's Richie Porte, to which she ofc said who's he, anyways guess it actually was!

    He has the used coffee cup at home in a glass case that no one can touch and he caresses superstitiously before each spin
