    Rate the Giro 2014

    7/10 A good Giro but nothing outstanding. I liked that the GC was wide open until the Stelvio, but overall was there too much backloading. First week was very dull, except for the usual crashes. Second week was already much better and third week was obviously the best. Stelvio stage was one...

    2014 Giro d'Italia, Stage 11: Collecchio - Savona (249 km)

    Seems the break is doomed. New war looming on the Cat's nose. Would have been a good day for a broadcast from start to finish.

    2014 Giro d'Italia, Stage 11: Collecchio - Savona (249 km)

    Peloton still split in two parts? Any GC contender in difficulty, like Ulissi?

    2014 Giro d'Italia Stage 6: Sassano – Montecassino | 257 km

    Crazy long stage, that's a classics distance. They shouldn't allow such long stages in my mind but on the other hand it is interesting to see what it will do with the riders on that final climb. But until they get there, very long and boring stage. More like a transfer by bike.

    2014 Giro D'Italia, stage 1: Belfast › Belfast, 21.7 km (TTT)

    1. Orica 2. Movistar 3. BMC But the weather could change everything, so any updates there? Will it be dry, wet, damp or some dangerous combo that will cause a lot of crashes?

    2014 68th Tour de Romandie, April 29 to May 4 - WT

    Shame that the broadcast doesn't start a bit earlier today, sounds like a horrible stage today.

    La Flèche Wallonne, April 23rd, 199K

    Great, I will be able to watch the last 5 or 7k and still I won't have missed anything. Great race again.

    Rate Paris-Roubaix

    Action was pretty good in the first half of the final with an bold and way too aggressive move from Boonen, but very enjoyable to watch. Lot of guys went up the road and especially Belkin looked like they were planning some massive attack to blow things apart at some point. The turning point...

    Who will win PR 2014?

    It's almost impossible to drop Cancellara on the cobbles and still very hard to beat him in a sprint so he is the man to beat again. But it would be great if Vanmarcke took the win, great rider who deserves to win a monument. I wonder what the Steppers will do next week, could make it very...

    2014 - 98th Ronde van Vlaanderen, 259km, Sunday 6th April (1.UWT)

    I am rooting for a crazy early move from Devolder and cracking the final open with 100km to go. I just hope we won't get a borefest like last year, who wins is less important to me.

    2014 Tirreno Adriatico, Stage 7: San Benedetto del Tronto TT (9.1 Km)

    Guess Malori has won the TT already.

    2014 Paris - Nice, stage 5: Crèche-sur-Saône - Rive-de-Gier 152.5km

    Another day and back to crappy route design, hopefully the riders make something out of it. Can't see Degenkolb getting dropped here, so the obvious choice to take the stage and yellow back. But I just hope some teams go ballistic and tear the peloton to pieces.

    2014 Tirreno Adriatico, Stage 1: Donoratico - San Vincenzo 16.9km (TTT)

    Some impressive TTT squads lined up. Guess OPQS and Movistar have 1 or 2 weak links so Orica or Sky to take this one.

    2014 Speculation (and confirmation) thread - rider schedules and parcours

    Long time since Dauphine had a good looking parcours, still some things that could be better but overall good. I very much like the col du Beal finish the second day, not the hardest climb but should be good to see some action.

    Le Tour de Langkawi 2014(27 Feb - 8 Mar) (2.HC)

    Bit of strange picture with the two Belkins, funny though.
