Moreno talking about his program.
Will start with Lugano and Camaiore, then Strade Bianche and T/A.
He will ride Milano Sanremo and the Ardennes, not the cobbled classics. Tour de France is gonna be his first GT ever, preceded by Dauphine and Suisse.

He's not riding the Giro because he's not sure he can do well this year, and not winning a stage would be a huge failure in his mind. At the Tour, on the other hand, there's gonna be less pressure on him. He also hinted that he might try to win a GT in the future (which I personally don't think is a good idea, but whatever).

Look forward to seeing him there, should be good.

Will need a helicopter and a couple of cancelled MTFs to win a GT though.

Agree, he should focus on becoming the best hilly classics rider of his Generation rather than waste his talent on trying to win an unachievable goal.
 
Looking forward to Moreno's debut of the season tomorrow in Lugano.
Even though he just posted this on Twitter:

Moreno is back.
He did an impressive job for Sagan in the last kms of today's GP Camaiore, bringing back 3 or 4 attacks on his own.

Very promising start of the season for him.

well impressive is a little too much considering his qualities...he brought back a nasty attack from Nibbles and kept the pace high until Sagan's sprint.

Anyway really promising for the classics!

Everything about Moreno is impressive to me :D

I heard the interview before the race. Low profile as usual. Even during the race he was invisible until the last kms, but always there.

Only thing I'm concerned about: Sagan too strong means he won't have many races to ride for himself?

He'll probably have his chances in LBL and FW, I don't think sagan is targeting them.

Very impressive work from Moreno today though, I think he will definitely be up there in the classics contending.

No. Perhaps Tour or Vuelta, but for certain he won't race Il Giro

As SafeBet posted before, he's gonna do Le Tour, and he'll probably be the captain for GC there.

Can't wait to see him in the Ardennes!

Moserino (little Moser in italian) is going to the Tour just to gain experience on GTs, there'll be no pressure on him to win a stage and certainly he won't be Cannondale's GC hope. The team will be there for Sagan only. Damiano Caruso (who was one of the most promising mountain domestiques for Basso in last year Giro) is Cannondale's best bet for GC, but he said that he will try to win a stage in the mountains and won't target the GC, but maybe if he's going well, who knows? Going back to Moser, he will probably be one of the top domestique for Sagan so I doubt he will have the chance to go for a stage himself.
 
I really don't know what to say.
Amazing win, amazing. A great team effort by Cannondale and a huge help from Sagan in the last 20kms. That last km with the attack on the final wall was just wow.

Now ready for Tirreno.
 
Moser and Sagan might just dominate cycling completely this season.

That duo needs to be split up if anyone else wants to win a race! :p And they probably will be, as I doubt Cannondale has got the money to keep Moser.

I don't think they're going to stay togeter for years to come. ;)

And right now I'll think they will play out Moser in the real hilly classics and Sagan in San Remo, Ronde van Vlaanderen and AGR.

I think they're both signed throughout 2014, aren't they?

They're both incredible all-rounders already, and still very young. They may even both develop into riders who can win anything from MSR to Roubaix to LBL.

And for the next years they'll surely be a tandem, it depends on both rider's ego whether they stay together.
