I think Kristoff would be wise to try to be in a group ahead of Sagan/GVA before the second time on Kwaremont. Maybe follow someone from QS who'll surely attack. The Kwaremont is the weak spot, on the Paterberg he's usually a beast. Looks mighty strong on the flats as well now.

Python: NRK is not streaming because this race is on TV2 that has bought some of the rights.

Both the elite and the U-23 world champion from Ponferrada in the break.

Re: Re: Kristoff at RvV, yes. Degenkolb at PR, nope. He had no trouble following wheels, but that's all he did, and he didn't show to be the strongest. Still though, that's largely irrelevant; everybody else does HAVE to drop them if they want to have a chance, no matter how hard that actually...

There is something funny about all this talk about getting "rid of" Degenkolb and Kristoff. It seems that people still don't get that these two guys are two of the toughest classics riders out there at the moment. They won in PR and RVV because they were the strongest rider in the race that day...

***** Terpstra **** Boom, Stybar *** Degenkolb, Kristoff, Vanmarcke ** Van Avermaet, Sagan, Thomas * Greipel, Gaudin many others

For me: 1) Roubaix 2) WCRR 3) Ronde 4) MSR

How come I just watched the qualifiers on NRK then?

According to procycling.no Kristoffer Skjerping is going to Garmin next year. Skjerping won a stage in l'Avenir and was 2nd in RVV U23 and 3rd in U23 WCRR. Could be a nice addition for Garmin in the classics in the future. http://www.procycling.no/agenten-bekrefter-skjerping-blir-proff/

Great win for Bystrom, of course he already signed for Katusha but nice for him to prove that he has something to contribute and not just coming to be a training partner for Kristoff.

Too many altitude meters for Kristoff I think. I also doubt his shape is at its best.

Should be one for Cort Nielsen this.
