He gets better and better in the hills every year. (he will win his first gt at the age of 42)

or.. just back.
i mean it's the tour du haut var. certainly less than a bang. maybe a pop
good signs though, him and Pozzato winning early

Him winning an uphill sprint against and inform Slagter is impressive though.
Slagter is Superman now? Hushovd should always win a slightly uphill sprint against Slagter. This was pretty close, actually.the asian said:

Hushovd was ill all year last year. He was probably worse off than Andy Schleck, so it is kinda impressive if you ask me

well, he had this virus thingy the whole freakin year, so a whole year with ok/bad training and racing is not exactly easy to get back from is it?
Vino attacks everyone said:
He hasn't. I always thought Ronde was too tough for him and now it's even more tougher, but if he has improved his climbing he might be in the fray.

def worse
a virus like that is less painful, obviously, but its effects can last longer
Vino attacks everyone said:
No, a crash is always a very bad mental setback opposed to illness, so it's much harder to return to a good level. A virus or disease isn't the rider's fault in most cases. The crash and his injured bones however made Schleck wonder if he still had the skill to compete. He's still searching for confidence to ride in the peloton, sad but true.
Hushovd at least knew at a certain time last year the virus had disappeared from his blood, allowing him to build his form for 2013. Schleck still had the mental and physical relapses. Hoogerland will probably be suffering the same consequences from his training crash.

Cycling news says 54. http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-cycliste-international-du-haut-var-matin-2013/stage-1/results
Looks like there's a large, dangerous breakaway ahead with guys from both Blanco (Ten Dam, Boom) and BMC (Oss, Moinard) in it. Wonder who's chasing then.Pentacycle said:
