Re:

People never learn that EF is never the last team to take a win during a season.

Sure. But this early is pretty surprising.

Why? Herald Sun Tour was as good opportunity for them as any other race in the season would be. No big names in the race apart from Porte.

Double up for EF with Woods.

 

[del1962]

Sky out

Only Sunweb, Astana, Bahrain, FDJ, AG2R, Dimension Data and Jumbo still in contention.

DD out.

Re:

Sunweb better get Matthews and Dumoulin kitted up, or they might just take this.

So, here's something I've been wondering for a while.
Which "out-taker" (rider with first win) were you guys most surprised by? I personally gotta admit I wasn't expecting Doull to be the one to grab Sky's first win.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Groupama-FDJ out.

 

[wirral]

Astana out in 22 km, surely.

I know I am cheating, jumping the gun.

Then I'm calling that Jumbo will be out a few seconds earlier.

I think that is more of a risky call. Let's see. (You might still be able to edit your post!)

Easy, huge winning margin :lol:

So to sum up: Jumbo and Astana, out!

AG2R, Sunweb and Bahrain still battling.
