OHN what beautiful race groups splintered all over the place. KBK showed us the new Lion of Flanders who man handled the bunch.

Kudos to the strong teams animating the races.
Ouickstep 221 Points, Cream of the crop
Sky 205 points, finally show up to a classic
Belkin 177 points, strongest team, need a closer
BMC 120 points, GVA best supporting actor, Phinney best American

Where are the French and Italians? :confused:

The french will show up at some point I guess. They got plenty of good cobbled riders atm, allthough mostly new talents and no winners yet.

Great races this weekend indeed. Let's hope it's a trend!

Which Italian riders are really suited for the cobbled classics apart from Pozzato? Maybe Gatto could do something or Selvaggi in an early breakaway.

Great opening weekend!!!! For me watching Trentin dig super deep after he was dropped to still bring in a top 10! All HEART!! The bloke could have sat up and freewheeled it in. Speaks a lot of how he rides for his TEAM!
