seeldrayers isn't a domestique though. he always rides for himself. he's a ridiculous rider in every way. just read one of his interviews. I wouldn't want him in my team even if he paid me

I agree with what you say, i think we all saw it clearly in Trentino. Kreuziger droped and he did not drop back to pace him, he just rode his own race, even though Kreuziger was placed well in the GC.

Max and Nibali certainly salvaged the race. I agree he's been threatening to do something big for a while now, doesn't make this any less of a surprise. Very happy. Astana a big turnaround from last year.

Wow, wow wow, guys. Slow down. Apparently it's Katusha, not Astana that took 2 out of 3 wins at Ardennes' after all, according to CN at least :D

Good win by Iglinskiy. Been threatening to do it for a long time. Good progression.

But fresh as a daisy? LOL, I love it. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Dan Martin's view of today: "I think you saw in the final that nobody had any legs left and nobody could make a difference and then it was a slow motion sprint at the end when you've got nothing left."

He usually does Tour and/or Dauphine as domestique but now i don't know.

One thing for sure Astana's "Classics trio" overachieved majorly and team's GT guys are looking poor in comparison.

This is obviously his biggest win, and he is clearly in the form of his life, what does this mean going forward? GT stage win maybe. Being a solid domestique. What else could it possibly mean? Olympics or Worlds ;)
 
I'm happy for Astanas' classic campaign. Great rides by Inglinsky and Gasparotto in both races.

Now for Kreuziger to go well at the Giro and Brajkovic at the TDF.

I think based on today Inglinsky deserves a leadership role for the WC RR course.
