They kinda deserved this though. It seems as if its true what the riders were saying, "none of us feel pressure". Yeah well maybe they took the no pressure thing to a new level and decided not to bother with training thinking one of the other stars would do it. Well Ballan, this is your golden chance. Unfortunately your not a sprinter, arent good enough of a climber to distance nibali on a climb, and arent good enough on the flats to distance cancellara. Well, maybe bmc wont get the win after all.

I'm so glad Thor is sick. He can suffer in his jocks for sticking it to Garmin.

BMC are nothing short of being in disarray.

They are worse team that The big budget failure of Fagor in 1988. Or when LeMond rode for PDM.

Useless.

Are you serious? Calling BMC a failure and useless when the first bloody monument hasn't even be ridden yet? So what if thor is sick, BMC still have many cards to play and even if they fail in this race there are SO many other races left. And a win in the TDF or big classics wins can easily make BMC the most successful team of the year.

I thought all their cards except for Ballan were sick?

I doubt it. There are better sprinters, better TTers and better climbers than Gilbert in the race, hard to imagine a scenario where he wins imo. But MSR is unpredictable, so who knows.

If he was in form, the best scenario would be similar to last year: a small group finish the descent of the Poggio together and he attacks late. hard to do that to Cancellara though. :O

A better climber on hills? Not so much.

Racing At the Back Or Boring Me into the Coffin, you choose.

Touché. Quite like the second one actually, though it doesn't make the first one any less true, sadly. :D

When did the little game of writing something after B, M and C stopped being funny? After first or second post?

Be More Creative and you will see how much funnier it could get. :p
