that's the point. We have no idea. Last year he was the best young guy on Verbier, but who knows how he will go on a long climb.

The field is very very tough though. Top 15 would be even amazing.

Tell your man Berto to start worrying :D


Seriously, I have no expectations whatsoever. I don't think he can develop into a GT rider, but he wants to. Maybe he'll just do like Bettini in the past. Going for GC in a Giro or two and then understand he will never be able to podium and go back to classics.

He could be good in one week races though.

Yeah I meant in the future.
Plus, Tirreno is among the hardest one week races. As you said, we really have no idea how he could respond to such long climbs.

he must have, though. He trained in Liquigas with Nibali and Basso so he should be aware of how he goes. Basso himself said that Moser is his heir (if I'm not mistaken)

The question is, is he going for GC in this T-A, or is he just going to help Sagan? Obiouvsly the approach changes everything so...

I'd say if he's going for GC we can expect a top 5-7, I want to believe :cool:

he's going for the gc, but I guess he'll help Sagan in the first two stages anyway.

I'd prefer if he went for stage wins. Could see him win stage 6, and also the stage tomorrow:

The problem is that these stages suit Sagan very well also.

Moser to attack with 20km to go. All the other teams looking at each other and don't want to pull Sagan. Sure it might well come back together, but it is the wisest use of Moser to let him attack.

I just hope he doesn't wait for the hill at 3 km to go. (As that is where Sagan should make his winning attack)

Why should he do that? Sagan's chances of winning those stages are better than moser's + moser is cannondale' best bet for a decent gc result. :)

So Moser looked quite pumped up for today's stage in the interviews...he said he'll try to mix up with best and see what's gonna happen...anyway he looked confident!

What can we expect?

As much as I'd like him to I don't expect him to be able to do a lot today, hopefully he can hang in there for as long as possible.

Love to be wrong though.

If he gets a top ten today he'll win 15 monuments, 10 GTs, 5WCRR and 5WCITT in his career. You read it here first. :D

Well the dream ended here :(

6'25" behind the leader. 41st.
He's just not good on long climbs at the moment.

Better focus on something else.

Moser had a really disappointing Tirreno so far. What's going on with him?

I wonder if it's a lack of form, caused by little racing time. A one day race like Strade Bianche is a thing, a week-long stage race, with such a difficult weather, is another.

At least I hope so...:(
