That's right.

Will all the forum be wrong?

That was confusing there for a second...

So... it's A, B, or C...

The questions are:
-How sharp is Sagan at Omloop already?
-Can Cannondale get their act together at the semi-classics? Their Omloop line-up looks superb, for KBK it's at least decent. They could walk out with a Omloop victory if they play their cards wisely.
- How sharp Aru's gonna be at Strade Bianche? Moser as well. Vanmarcke and Uran could do something for Cannondale there. For Sagan it should be his first real season goal.

Cannondale ain't gonna be at Le Samyn. Lutsenko ain't field by Astana for the early cobbled classics, suggesting a more climbing focused build-up towards the Ardennes and the Giro!? Will he be at Strade Bianche?

Looks like Astana imho on paper. If this competition lasts until T-A & P-N tough, Aru & Lutsenko should be around the certain favorites for a stage win there.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Cannondale nearly lost that competition today.

 

[jaylew]

Both Cannondale and Bora miss out today.

 

[MatParker117]

Out go Bora.

 

[LaFlorecita]

It's definitely going to be Cannondale.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

I still don't see any Astana wins incoming soon...

 

[RedheadDane]

Aaah, but they don't have to win soon, just sooner than Cannondale.

Gruzdev just won the Asian Championships TT.

With Astana or Kazakhstan?

Kazakhstan. I guess that doesn't count then?

Is Oceania the only continental championships where riders race for their trade teams?

Cannondale out! Skuijns wins in Italy! So does Astana than win?

 

[Alexandre B.]

I WIN

Best day of my life.

Sneaky dude. While everyone was watching E3 and Catalunya he went and won in Italy.

 

[Anderis]

So the majority got it wrong this time.

 

[hazaran]

Eh it's because Astana doesn't send a squad to these silly events..

 

[RedheadDane]

Astana has had plenty of opportunity to get a win.

 

[stefank]

May I point out that Astana are not yet the last team to get a win.....

 

[RedheadDane]

What team is missing?

Re:

No, it's because Astana just hasn't been good enough to win. Frankly, their team just doesn't have as many winning riders as they've had in the past, granted Lopez being hurt certainly doesn't help.

And there are two other WT teams in the field as well. Nothing particularly soft about that win.
