    You put [ spoiler] before the bit you want covered up, and then [ /spoiler afterwards. Remove the spaces between the square brackets.

    Where did he relocate to recently? He tweeted about moving homes - presumably from Belgium to Spain?

    Girona
    Lucca/Tuscany

    with some living on the Italian /Switzerland border area...like Varese


    Sam has moved to Monacco

    Hope he can afford it. Not cheap there!

    Reading froomes book he said he moved there for money reasons (more or less) but there are some nice hills close by. Villefranche is spectacular

    Well Sam has a nice pad ...

    Of course Monacco is tax free I believe but has the second highest cost per square foot in the world (after central west London..ie Chelsea/Mayfair)
