well, i am not denying that, but let's stay on earth. In my suggestion, it's just repeating something he's already done.

Only this time it would be in the first place.

Gotta say, Sagan is just a beast! :D Can't wait for the classics, he's gonna be destroying everyone.

Any videos of the finish up yet?

What happened to cancellara? Did he try anything? And looks like gallopin is the best of the rest. Sagan is in a class of his own!

Bouhanni is quite a prospect. He has serious speed on the flat and seems to handle tough finishes really well.

Yes, he's surprised me a bit. I thought Demare was the guy for tough finishes (as well as the flat) but it seems like both of them can do it. Good for French cycling.

I don't know. Today's talk will be all about Gilbert and how he managed to crack the top-10 on a stage that TOTALLY doesn't suit him.

I really don't like to be trolled by someone who was whining about Gesink having to do all the work in a meaningless Mallorca race even though that's not what happened. It's like Al Bundy making fun of your job.

Yeah, very impressive of him, might be an outsider for Milan-San Remo (in the future). And his national jersey looks great unlike Sagan who should be banned for crimes against fashion. :eek:

Bouhanni is a Berber right? Or at least partly.

I must admit that I am starting to get really excited about what Sagan could possibly achieve this season. The man is a phenomenon.

Alberto looks to be in white-hot given how he finished in Argentina and how he has started in the desert.

Bouhanni is much better at harder finishes than Demare.

I would have said No Classic for Tomeke this year following everything that has happened him. Then I started thinking about how exactly his next 6 weeks will pan out.

Finish Oman.
Back to Belgium for a week's block training.
Ride E3, possibly even Kuurne Brussel Kuurne as hard as he can,

Recovery for 5/6 days then block training again until Paris Nice. Kill himself there for a week then recover for another week then block train and sacrifice Milan San Remo.

The mileage required for Flanders and Roubaix is still doable. No way he's going to be as good as he was last year but then again he doesn't need to be. Only Flanders hurt him the final time on the Kwaaremont and that was a mistake by the Italians not to kill him there and then.

He will ride a stage race before Paris-Nice normally. And he's still not sure whether he'll start in the Belgian openingsweekend.

i've my own thoughts on a Flanders winner though and it's not Tomeke or Sagan.

although it would be remiss not to fancy Sagan now - glad i backed him a few weeks ago.
