Great week for Cav!

Even 10 years ago I wasn't 33! Man I'd love to be 33 again!

You're old!

Yeah, would be nice, the only downside is the amount of Voeckler's tongue to deal with

Open hunting season on Eddy's record of 34 Tour stages once more.

I know. Only 31 to go for Pogi.

That's a nice win for Delko! I wouldn't have minded seeing them at the Giro. Jose Manuel Diaz, Delio Fernandez, Finetto, Bini Ghirmay, Rajovic, Grosu, Fedeli and Ze Gocalves would be one of the better, if not the best wildcard team.

Sorry, but only Ghirmay seems interesting to me. Kudos to Diaz on his win, but it was Tyrkey FCOL and his closest competitor was Jay Vine (who?) and Sepulveda, who hasn't had a meaningful result in several years. They would be pack fodder in the giro...besides the Eritrean.

Jay Vine is only a first year pro after winning last year's Zwift Academy. He's been getting strong results with weak teams on the domestic scene here in Australia for a few years now.

Once he gets used to European racing he'll probably end up WT.

Thanks for the additional info on Vine, but that doesn't really scream class anyway, which was my point. Nothing against the kid, but let's face it - the field in Turkey was c***.

It's his first race in Europe, and Vine was also working to position the sprint train so not bad. Wait and see where he gets.
