I still think Emillia is too hard for Gilbert. Fleche is no Emillia that's for sure. If anyone is going to prove me wrong it's Gilbert though...

yeh, last year was great. this year not so.Dekker_Tifosi said:Headwind can really have a profound effect on races... headwind on climb killed pyrenees in the tour, now montreal, which was last year a very fun race

But it worked in their favour this time.
I still think Costa wastes too much energy in premature attacks in classics tho. Paid off today though.
Kwibus said:Hah. Don't worry about Costa.. he's very smart. He didn't ride at the front of the big break 1 second. I noticed it from the start and I always wonder why others keep on riding when there is 1 very strong rider that just sits at the end of the group. Very smart rider. He was in the right position for the sprint at the finish as well.
