--------------------------------------

Like always - nice intro. Hope you will make it in time to take part in that race.

We need counterweight to all that BMC and Rabo-trolling, and of course we need interesting input and news, which usually no one cares about, but are interesting anyway.

I am looking forward to the Peter Sagan Hype Express making the journey from Paris to the South coast in record time.

If he is riding I will take the avatar challenge

Peter Sagan will not finish in the top 10 of Paris Nice or even win a stage this year.

Avatar of choice for the Saganites if I am wrong.

I agree about the GC, I think he will have a difficult time getting in the top-10. A stage win should definitely be possible, there usually aren't a lot of good sprinters in Paris-Nice.

Pahhh, you know, all these Chuck Norris legends were recently changed to Peter Sagan.

Peter will win 10 stages, despite of the fact that P-N has only 8 stages - and all the classifications on top.
He will overlap all riders just for fun before they reach Nice again and they won't even notice because he is too fast.
They will not notice till they are disqualified.

How do people think Nico Roche will do??

If he's as active as he was last year, maybe a GC top ten?

A top 5 might even be possible.

I hope that He'll do good... but He hasnt raced too much, He's still building up as the other ppl of the GC.

Astana is bringing the big guns to the race-Vino & Kreuziger \
the startlist looks amazing & its going to be a fantastic race to watch

Yeah, PN will be under Astana pressure, form will judge who will be Astana leader but Nice stage will be the main Vinos aim even if he'll have yellow jersey.

 

[Raceoftruth]

Think the time trial will be decisive on this!

Kiserlovski looked to be in good shape in Sardegna also.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

let's hope vino wins here in his last year. after all this was truly his race.

Kiserlovski looked to be in good shape in Sardegna also.

i think he is the future of astana.he looked so classy on the bike while climbing,no fatigue at all,made the moves so easily,he even dances on the pedals.this guy will deliver some surprises soon.

Hm, Tiralongo was mentioned as being plan B if Kreuziger underperforms at the Giro. Should we be looking elsewhere?

 

[jens_attacks]

i don't think kiserlovsky will go in il giro,martinelli didn't mention him.he will go in le tour to help vino.

 

[Raceoftruth]

Will be interesting to see how astana play their hand in this race! Same to be said for a number of teams though!

 

[El Pistolero]

Lulu's race to lose.

I totally agree

Does anybody know if this is being shown on television in the United States? Is VS holding it?

 

[mombus]

Another Question: Who do you think Leopard Trek is pulling for? Frank? That seems the obvious choice, but do you think they have one of the other guys going for the win?

Imagine seeing Fugslang take this race? I'd say there's a .001% chance, but it WOULD be cool!
