Pretty sure the Schlecks, Vino, Evans, Cav, Canc, and every other rider peak two times a year. In fact, the Schlecks peak at the Ardennes and then peak and, wait for it, the Tour.

Who did he beat at Amstel? Rodriguez, Schleck, Cunego, Hesjedal.
They're all gonna be at the Tour.
Who did he beat at Fleche? Rodriguez, Sanchez, Schleck, Vino.
They're all gonna be at the Tour.
Who did he beat at Liege? Andy and Frank.
They're all gonna be at the Tour.

Non of those guys was on top of his game their.

A word of caution Bavarianrider. Everything you are saying about Degenkolb, people were saying about Gerald Ciolek three or four years ago. There's still a lot of developing to be done before he can take on A-list riders at the Tour.

No way Degenkolb wins.

He's a great hardman, but he's not really a very good sprinter - Eddy is certainly quicker if they both get it right, and with Tyler around too, I don't like his chances.

Whoops!

The blow to my pride is softened by having selected him in the CQ game.:D

Excellent intuition and timing from Degenkolb again* - he really does seem canny beyond his years - or is it because he is whupping the b list?

I can see Petacchi has got another fast wheel to sneak some victories off

* pity about the annoyances that come with his wins...

Duh......

I was trying to do it with the CN app. Thanks!

The app is next to useless. I just have the CN site bookmarked as an icon on my home screen.
