Re: Re:

Ah, Ciolek, another seemingly great talent that went to waste.

Yes, but he al least won a MSR to Sagan and Cancellara.

In a masterful display of wheelsucking.

*Waits for the holier than thou posters to declare how I know nothing about cycling.*

Well,I bet for him and some people laugh about and offers me a dinner if he was in the top ten...

He did his race, when you are not favourite is like that. There are the favourites who has more responsabilit. Sagan won a lot of races before becouse people consider him very young, it is not the same when you are the favourite.

Ciolek hold with the pace in San Remo and he won the sprint, it was what he need to do. It is not the best loable way to win a race, but it is of course allowed. Cancellara and Sagan where in his particular fight... . it was a hard race for the weather,so a big merit for all those boys that were there. By the way, it was the first good place for Stannard in a big clasicc. I had to read all kind of bad things for him that day. Maybe now people realize he is a very goof classic man.

Simon Gerrans is starting for Orica, so not sure the teams on page 1 are accurate. With Gerrans and Mathews, hopefully OGE can have them working together and not both going for the win. Gerrans is in super form and will be hard to beat. They also have Impey in excellent form and he has been wingman for both. Maybe Gerrans will work for Mathews at Amstel and then go for the win at Liege??

Not sure if Hayman will start but if he does it will be great for the team.

Why is impy working for the break?

 

[Valv.Piti]

What happened, just came home

Re:

Cause he can win.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Peloton at 1m20

Edit: merely 2 minutes later it says 47 seconds... wtf

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Oomen trying to bridge... in what appears a futile attempt since the peloton is right behind.

Hayman is here, he is working.

it is the best team by far, the starlist is wrong....

Re:

Yeah, Orica riders usually don't work in the breakaway in the Ardennes classics (Simon Clarke was the exception), it's a pleasant surprise, I won't complain.

 

[SKSemtex]

I really like this race. It is pity Sagan is not riding it. His win in 2013 here was tremendous.
One of his best and the most deserved. ( after this race he appeared for first time in clinic section) .

 

[Taxus4a]

Wellens, he is at great shape as he showed in Pais Vasco... this is a move to win...

 

[TomLPC]

Great to see alaphilipe on the attack

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Wellens and Alaphilippe away.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Alaphil for at least one of the classics! Go!

 

[Samamba]

Wellens is never gonna win this with Alaphilippe.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Slagter on one of the good days ?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Coquard FTW

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Impey best man in the race so far.

 

[Jspear]

Re:

This due could easily win if the peloton plays around.

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Rebellin still there.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

It's over for Wellens and Alaphilippe.

 

[Jspear]

Re:

He will get his obligatory top 10.

Re:

I hope so. Being a Cannondale sure is tough these days.

 

[Jspear]

Weening in the front now.

 

[Guybrush]

Where's the Weening meme?
