Happy 26th birthday: Šťastný dvacátýšesté narozeniny
As Roman is gunning for top spot in the Giro, I suspect that any birthday celebrations will be put on hold until the end of May. He’s had a good start to the 2012 season, having settled into his role as one of the team leaders at Astana, but he’ll be looking to improve on last year’s showing at the Giro, where he placed fifth overall and won best young rider.
