[The Hitch]

yessssssss, Kwiatkowski wins the prologue

Wicked.

Next Cancellara

 

[jens_attacks]

nice results

 

[maltiv]

Omega Pharma Quickstep are just ridiculously good this season.

 

[Kvinto]

Wicked.

Next Cancellara

Don't know how about Cancellara, but Michal's current form is pretty impressive: Algarve, Le Samyn and now West Flanders. I even can't imagine the reaction of commentators on the Polish Eurosport if it were broadcasted there.

looking at the sprinters behind KWIATKOWSKI, I will say that the most dangerous is Wagner: he need one 2nd and a 3rd place to reach Michael. More difficult is for Farrar that need one 1st place and a 2nd one. But I think that Galim, Demare', Fenn, Chicchi, Petit are good enough to overcame Wagner...
