Fisher Black is very fast. he was poorly positioned in Saudi. Also in Saudi it was a flat sprint and here it was uphill. I saw that Fisher Black was 7th in a flat sprint 2 years ago in Switzerland.

Badly positioned had nothing to do with it, the moment he was free to sprint, he didn't come an inch closer to Yates, and Lecerf who had been stuck between Yates and the boarding, actually overtook him.
I didn't see today's sprint, but i read it was at the end of a hill, and there was a 2s gap. So that is indeed a very different kind of sprint than a regular flat sprint.

That was very impressive today and very much reminiscent of a younger Sagan before he went down the cobbles classics route. Footage was so poor that I am mostly going off the result rather than how it was achieved.

Will be interesting to see how he handles longer races and if he can contend in Amstel Gold type races.

no one said it was a flat finish.

Anyway here's the last 100m:

This guy had a promising start in January and February, but since then his results are have been very disappointing.

I thought with all the sprinting stages at the Giro he might get on a podium. Yes, his team did win 4 (?) Giro stages and I'm sure he played a role.

Well, he was lead-out man for Merlier in all of the races he rode since March, wasn´t he? This of course explains his results..

Czech Tour is now the first race since february, where he can go for his result..

Anybody knows what's up with him and when he will start his season?

Apart from Landa and Evenepoel, he's the only SQS rider who still has to start their season.

PCS only has him listed for Nokere Koerse so far.

That seemed to have always be the plan. Tom Steels is still very positive about him, and he should be riding multiple classics this spring.
