Sky Borg in early march

I don't know if the train is being so effective and neutralizing any attacks or if it is that none of the contenders really want to play their cards this early on the climb. Maybe a combination of the two, with the latter being more likely the factor.

 

[McLovin]

Velits just behind Sky.

Wuyts has taken sleep pills today. Made a few big msitakes already and now he sees Gesink as Kruijswijk. Honoustly, they are not even close

Yep, seems like a slightly slower/less impressive version of what we saw here last year. Doubt it'll be able to hold off attacks plus peloton is still in tact.

I have it on good authority that this style of riding is good for cycling.

 

[phanatic]

Is that the peloton or age catching up to Voigt?

 

[SafeBet]

Malacarne I love you.


Edit: that was short

 

[Miburo]

Sky really love their train

 

[happytramp]

yes, times will indeed be interesting.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink looks bad to me. He isn't going to play a role

 

[Cyivel]

Basso hanging in there

 

[cineteq]

Please somebody break the Skyboredomtrain

No worries, Richie doesn't look good. Gesink and Quintana to attack any time now.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Gesink attack coming up.
