Yay! Mathieu won the Baltic Chain Tour

I just can't see that kid staying with cross. He's too talented. Maybe he'll do like Stybar and win a Worlds and then dabble thereafter.

Stybar won three Worlds.

And for the moment, it looks like Mathieu is staying with cross. Much for my pleasure.

For someone only 6 weeks after surgery and only 4 weeks back on the bike what do you expect him to take part in the Veulta. I think he's great even to just be racing already

Actually, there is a rider doing exactly that...

I think he's great even to just be racing already

True nonetheless

[Geraint Too Fast]

Zordan obviously peaked for this race. He got two 15th places! _O_

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Brussels Cycling Classic (1.HC)

1. André Greipel
2. Elia Viviani
3. Arnaud Démare

Gorilla wouldn't have won without a fantastic leadout from Gallopin.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Still good to see Greipel back after what appears to be a difficult period.
Over to you, Cav and Kittel.

 

[Michele]

Viviani is always there but always miss that bit to actually win.
