Re:

Crazy performance by 19 year old Kristoffer Halvorsen, wow!

After starting his first year as a junior with some great victories, he was out for almost 2 seasons with illness. This is his first race at this level.

Wow, that's crazy! Never heard of him before.

Lol @ Lotto-Jumbo. Groenewegen rode a great last k but where were his teammates again?

Yup, did too much work too soon. Just two world tour riders in the top 10.

Pathetic Jumbo. Groenewegen coming from 30th position in the last k to third. All alone.

No wonder, I think he has like 5 race days since 2013...1-2 years ago he was so ill he struggled to even go for a walk.

He's always been incredibly confident though. I remember in 2013 he said that his goal was to be the best cyclist in the world

Wagner was in front though, so the question is whether Groenewegen lost his wheel or Lotto-Jumbo were being useless as usual again.

Moscon is a beast. Attacked two laps out and then opened up the sprint from the bottom to finish 7th. He should be riding San Remo really. Wiśniowski also looked really strong. Etixx do a great job developing their young riders.

Bad performance from Grosu considering the field

 

[Squire]

I think Baptiste Planckaert snuck into 4th without appearing in the initial results list.

Juraj Sagan first home for Tinkoff in 31st after crash-filled #Nokere Koerse in Belgium

If this continues, Juraj might become the most successful Sagan this year!

You can't keep him out of the top10!

Anyway, another promising performance by Gianni Moscon.

Moscon certainly looked good, after top 20 in Strade Bianche, he is really stepped up to WT.

I notice the return of Danny van Poppel. Hope to see what he can do this season.

 

[Norbea]

Wow Halvorsen! Just...Wow! Knew he is really talented and someone to look out for, but this was strong considering all his troubles the past two years.

Good to see him in the front group as well, hopefully he'll be sprinting in California.

Agreed. Looked to be leading out the other Sky fella (Fenn?) who went cold in the last 500m, then just went for the line himself. Colour me impressed!
