Why on earth does he need to sign with Cannondale??? 
He can surely go anywhere he pleases.... just not fare...

That was a brilliant win! Looking forward to see more of this kid next year.
Good to see Ewan 4th too.

Appreciate that but I doubt anyone thought he was quite this good. Winning the U23's a year later when he's still only 18 years old...
I was wondering if someone had won the juniors, u23 and elite titles in consecutive years. Mohoric for 2014!

No U23 champion has won the pro road championship yet, so no, but without looking it up, I'm quite confident even the junior-u23 combo is unprecendeted, let alone in consecutive years.
eta: unless I missed someone, Greg Lemond is the only one to win two out of the three (junior&pro) + Mohoric now with maybe plenty of chances for the latter to complete the combo. Although if you count the amateur category, there are probably many more.

What's wrong with that? They did a great job on Sagan.
Super Impressive by Mohoric! Didn't expect him to win in his first year in the U 23 ranks and he wasn't too visible in Avenir, but boy, he knows how to deliver on the big stage !
Surely winning u 18 and u 23 in consecutive years must be a record.
Hopefully he won't drop off in the pro's and fulfill his potential. He has all the tools to be the rider of his generation, Very good finisher, descender, climber, Time Trialist and according to his coach has V good recovery powers too.
Impressive ride by Ewan too. This guy will become the new Oscar Freire

On the chance that Sagan goes to BMC as has been rumored for a while now, they'll need a replacement for him.

Hushovd won the time trial championship as u23 but never the road, before he become road champion in 2010. I think it would be impossible to win the pro championship the consecutive year after a u23 win the level gap is to big for that. It takes some years of hard training to stay the distance with the pros.
Great win and incredible bike skills. Gutsy ride also by the South African who finished second. Caleb Ewan known as a sprinter, to finish fourth on a course that did not suit him was also a very good performance. And the winner is only 18 !
Nice race, congrats to Mohoric and his team (who attacked quite a bit). Surprised that S.Yates did not win - he should have used Adam more to help him.
Ewan looked strong too (last climb), the distance was hard for him and he looked boxed in but he rode a great race. Howson looked very strong too, but he reacted to so many moves- Australia should have let him wait till the last two laps.

Just imagine what he will be like at Horner's age

Everyone is forgetting Moser
I just hope the coverage will be a lot better than this on Sunday. There was not even a single image from the favourites group after Via Salviati until a camera alongside the road took all riders in one shot in the long straight last 1,5k. Same on the Fiesole descent.
Most annoying was probably the motorbikes only focusing on the riders they were riding next/behind to, instead of looking back once in a while so we could actually see what was going on

Strong move from Bonnamour, joining Martinez up front, although the Danes look like they have this under control.
