    2015 Ardennes Classics: 50th Amstel Gold Race - 4.19 - 258km

    I think a lot is going to depend on the wind. If there is no tail wind and a head or cross wind then an 8 sec gap might be brought back and a small group will Finnish together.

    2013 Tour de France Stage 1: Porto Vecchio -> Bastia, 213km (29/06/13)

    That's because he doesn't trust his train, it happens all the time he loses touch with his team mates because he is ducking and weaving to see what is happening ahead. Just doesn't have the balls or the desire

    2013 Tour de France Stage 1: Porto Vecchio -> Bastia, 213km (29/06/13)

    Gossy is the dumbest and most uncourageous rider in the peloton. He finally gets a chance with the big names crashing and he crashes himself due to bad positioning. He isn't worth 2 million a year!

    TDF Sprints & Green Jersey

    I think sagan will win green. Although cav will win his fair share of stages he will more than likely be docked points at time for finishing outside the time limit on some of the harder mountainous stages.

    2013 Santos Tour Down Under Stage 5: McLaren Vale -> Old Wilunga Hill, 151.5km

    There's no way Rojas here. He might be sent as a decoy but with Moreno being so close in the gc he will work for him

    2013 Santos Tour Down Under Stage 5: McLaren Vale -> Old Wilunga Hill, 151.5km

    I think Thomas is in a lot of trouble here. There are so many within 15 seconds of the lead and with time bonuses on the line he will have to mark ten cyclists. It's very hard to do at willunga. I think slagter is going to win here

    Does anyone know how far back Gerrans finished?

    2013 Santos Tour Down Under: 20th Jan - 27th Jan

    Simon clarke is a good back up for Gerrans, I think he is in better form than Gerrans at the moment. The fact that green edge have hardly talked about him in this race is a bit of a hint for me . Also the fact the tab put him up at 100 -1 (thank you mr bookmaker :) ) and now he is 20 -1. Still...

    2013 Santos Tour Down Under: 20th Jan - 27th Jan

    Ventoso doesn't have mattys talent. I think gossy has a lot of wins in the future if he would only realise that he needs to trust his team and use a bit more of his brain when approaching the finish. Cav is a freak and is probably the only sprinter that can maintain his top line speed for such...

    2013 Santos Tour Down Under: 20th Jan - 27th Jan

    I am not saying goss can't compete, however to win on a semi regular basis you need ability (which he has) , trust in your lead out (which he clearly doesn't) and race smarts (which he lacks more often than not) I think any quality sprinter would regard 2nd and 3rds in grand tours as still a...

    2013 Santos Tour Down Under: 20th Jan - 27th Jan

    I have watched goss closely for a few years now. It is clear to me that he isn't the best in trusting his team when they are leading him out. He keeps pulling out of the slip stream to look ahead and then pulls back in, thus waisting energy and not showing any confidence in his lead out. At...

    Vuelta 2012, Stage 16: Gijón > Cuitu Nigru (183,5 kms)

    What, no more juicy steaks for dinner. Alberto will be disappointed, he loves a tender bit of meat :)

    Vuelta 2012, Stage 16: Gijón > Cuitu Nigru (183,5 kms)

    I think the majority of us would agree the contador only needs one day when he feels great. i believe he can easily gain 30 seconds on jrod when this happens. Jrod looked great in the giro early on then started to loose contact towards the final stages. One thing for sure there is still good...
