Lesser known races results 2013

[Netserk]

Mollema just can't win can he? Finally beats Valverde in a sprint... but it's for 2nd place. LOL

Gesink also nice, 4th in an uphill sprint.

Gesink seems to show his high base level. I really hope he will contend for the win in P-N

I get the feeling they are trying to use that music to make the video look more epic than it actually is.

Impressive performance by Navarro, I expected Valverde to take this easily. I guess moving to Cofidis was the right decision.

Gesink pulled for the whole climb, apparently, and still finished 4th. His form certainly seems to be alright.

Navarro got the quality to win smaller races/stages. Now watch him being used as a GC contender in France, completely invisible.

[jens_attacks]

Yes. Two years ago.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Nikita, why couldn't you do this when you were in my CQ team? Oh well, it's good that he seems to be getting over whatever was affecting him last year.

 

[Netserk]

 

[Pentacycle]

Yes. Two years ago.

This year they could be considered the best of the early season, in 2011 HTC was even better. They'd better not stop winning now...

they had better starts when they won pn with boogerd, they had years where freire won msr and they had a year where t.dekker won tirreno
consider that a better start than winning small racesa

They could very well win P-N this year
