Ballerini in front of Fondriest.

yep. Sorry no prize.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

This man with the funny sleeve

will continue the good form.

Any reports about Nibali's shape?

 

[manafana]

thanks for the info on this race, the field looks pretty decent hoping i might find some highlights somewhere

 

[Flamin]

So, no Sagan-Moser show this year it seems.

Ulissi then FTW.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

No, Colbrelli needs to get his win here finally.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Nice race.
Ulissi the favorite. Ended second last year and has already shown good form.

 

[fauniera]

Hoogerland in the break.

Why didn't Area Zero bring Pasqualon?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

83km to go.
Pretty good ticker.

 

[del1962]

So who are the favourites Ulissi, Gerrans, Nibali?

Good to know this important issue still sparks debate, despite numerous attempts to repress it.

 

[boomcie]

Hoogerland in the break.

Why didn't Area Zero bring Pasqualon?

Reportedly, he made arrangements to go on a horse riding trip with his girlfriend.

 

[Guybrush]

Super Jonny at the front, 25 km to go, 45'' the gap

 

[Netserk]

Nibali gogogo!!!

I'm B (like in your avatar) and one-day races

 

[Netserk]

Nibali, Arredondo, Villella e Pirazzi at the front.

 

[TeoSheva]

Ulissi Arredondo and Montaguti with some seconds!

EDIT: Frederik Backaert with them

 

[Netserk]

In testa Diego Ulissi (Lampre - Merida), Matteo Montaguti (AG2R La Mondiale), Julian David Arredondo (Trek Factory Racing) e Frederik Backaert (Wanty - Groupe Gobert).

Gruppo molto vicino, a 11''

 

[TeoSheva]

20" at -4km

 

[Netserk]

It's Simon Clarke instead of Backaert.

Yellow Fluo leading the chase.
