Wow that stage is pretty difficult! Didn't expect EBH to win something like this......
It looks like he's really back to his old self then. It seems like we'll get a few more years of ridiculous results everywhere and then failing in the classics because he doesn't realize he's not that good with either cobbles or 250km.
Anyway, good for him he left Sky! It's crazy an all-round guy this talented was reduced to a mountain domestique there..........

Re:
He was even 10th at Green Mountain.
Boasson Hagen at Sky was the greatest waste of talent i can thnk of.

EBH was always supposed to be what Sagan turned out to be. Let's hope EBH actually starts fulfilling that enormous potential this season. Defo looks at his best since 2011

Re: Re:
I think Gerrans was worse.
EBH at Sky won 2 Tour stages, Eneco, Plouay, Hamburg, Norway etc

What about Poels ...he looks amasing so far

Definitely best rider we've seen this year, still really early

Re: Re:
Yeah looks like they didn't race that hard this year. In 2013 for instance the first group consisted of Froome, Rodriguez and Contador.
EBH still looking good though.

Well, it's a great start to the season for EBH. Looks better than ever, but will this mean he will challange for the win in RVV and PR? I'm more doubtful about that. He hasn't been top 10 in either of those races - ever (Best performance is 17th in RVV 2013.). That he all of the sudden should be a challenger is a little bit far-fetched. But no one would be happier than me if he would be up there fighting for the win.
Still believe he is most suited for AGR, but Eddy himself doesn't seem to interested in that race.
Even if he doesn't succeed in the classics, I'm positive that he will deliver some great performances this year. The aggressive Eddy of old is the Eddy the fans like. And this year we have seen some signs of the rider we saw in HTC and the first years at Sky, and it's just great.

Anyone find out why Richie Porte is so pants in this race ...this time last year he started like a hound out of traps
Re:
During the world championships of recent years, and MSR last year, he hasn't had this problem because it's much easier to get time to eat there.
The problem isn't the distance, it's rather the combination of cobbles+distance, due to his inability to consume gels and energy drinks. Eating those small sandwiches he's eating during races is probably close to impossible towards the end of a hectic, cobbled race, which is why he always runs out of gas.Lexman said:

Re: Re:
He is also older. Now at 28 he might be able to hold the distances better.
