Re: Re:
Of those AGR and Strade Bianche (if you want to include it) are the only ones he's going to. He's said he'll never race Tirreno again, and definitely isn't going to Paris-Nice or Suisse this year and highly unlikely he's going to Romandie or Brabantse either.
Now the "curse" of being too content may well be accurate for him now that he's won the Worlds, but it's most definitely not the "curse" of the rainbow jersey. If it were that he wouldn't have the podiums he's already racked up.
Interestingly enough he was asked if there was a stage at the Tour he'd like to win, and his response was yes, I want to win the sprint on the Champs Elysees. Don't see it happening, but that was the answer he gave when asked that question. Nothing about a stage that would be realistic for him to win.

Re:
Because MS treated it as a training race by having the whole team in front for the last 90 km - It should be pointed out that MS are in the middle of a training camp which has been broken up by Almeria and Murcia - Liked the debut race of Affini - Was one of the three MS riders driving the last 90kms and still lead out to 1km to go - Think he has a future.

Why did Gaudu just sit on Dunbar’s wheel after their attack in Provence? He had just as much to gain from working and no more to lose. Was he just dead? If he’d contributed even a third of the work, they’d likely have stayed clear and contested both the stage and possibly GC.
Silly tactics by Gaudu in Provence - They may have stayed away if he worked with Dunbar - Anyway Gaudu is looking stronger in his third year.

Lutsenko is the favorite for Green Mountain as well? I don't see any of the riders challenging him.
Rui Costa is not the rider he used to be. And Pozzovivo lacks that extra thing. Herrada might be his main rival but it looks almost impossible to dethrone him.

I'd love to see Pozzovivo conquer Green Mountain. It's designed for him. Not too long, not too short and brutally steep. But I just don't think he can. Always someone who is faster or more powerful. It's a shame because I want the little guy to win. 
A Lutsenko hat-trick is almost guaranteed in his current shape.
Who do you think will win on Green Mountain?

Do you mean that year Purito won?Scarponi said:
But yeah, the peloton is much weaker. Weak enough for GVA to surprise and do a top 10.

Basically everyone think that Lutsenko is going to win.
