The Official Moser is the new Moser Thread

[greenedge]

This guy is a natural. Top 5 in both the Nats RR and ITT in your first year as a pro, after all the other top-notch placings he has already. Not many aspiring riders who can say that at the moment, apart from Sagan maybe.

Arnaud Demare will also become great, only just not as versatile as Sagan or Moser.

 

[SafeBet]

Moreno is scheduled to ride the Tour of Pologne.
What do you guys expect from him? His recovery still looks suspect.

 

[roundabout]

How is his sprint?

 

[SafeBet]

He's quite fast, but more of a puncher.
Could definately see him winning a sprint out of 15-20. Bigger group, I really have no idea.

Stage 1 will be a reduced sprint, but probably faster riders will survive. Then there are 2 uphill sprints, but again those stages aren't super tough.

I suppose it will also depend on how well Sabatini and Viviani are going.

As long as he is not too tired, I think he can finish top 15 on GC at least.

We should bear in mind he is still lacking recovery skills. In Suisse he looked promising until the ITT but then blew in the Arosa stage. I know both the field and the parcours are weaker here but I wouldn't expect too much GC wise.

Those uphill sprints look very good though.

Viviani should go for the bunch sprints. He's faster than Moreno.

I'm not sure how much Viviani will be going all out: he is riding the olympics soon on the track and probably won't be racing as hard.

Apparently he can win bigger sprints as well.
Even though, well, not sure you can call this a sprint. He opened a gap

The Beastness is strong in this guy

Easy peasy. yea baby.

 

[roundabout]

2 (3?) more stages and the GC to go.

and who apparently is better suited to mid-lenght climbs. I see him perfect for LBL.

I'm still skeptical about his recovering skills. But I won't say it's impossible.

 

[Kwibus]

I watched that sprint with no idea who were in the leading bunch and then I saw this BIG Liquigas starting his sprint and I wondered why nobody tried to hold his wheel... He just rode off and the others were looking like

Then I watched him closely and noticed his cheering and figured it was Moser. I mean wtf... What's this for a monster?

 

[Peccio89]

I hope cobble skills are a family thing too, because if that's the case we might have found someone that can be a contender for all 5 the monuments( beside Sagan obviously).

yes I'm really curious to know how he goes on cobbles

[Eshnar]

Now that I see it you cannot call it a sprint.
Solo action

 

[SafeBet]

Told ya so

 

[Pippo_San]

Congrats Bettini, brilliant idea not to choose Moser for the Olympics...

 

[maxmartin]

wish he could be in the tour, but I am sure will see him next year

 

[Eshnar]

Congrats Bettini, brilliant idea not to choose Moser for the Olympics...

Right
very smart move by him...

 

[gustienordic]

Congrats Bettini, brilliant idea not to choose Moser for the Olympics...

Especially when you take Trentin as one of your guys...

Big day tomorrow for Moreno. GC of the Tour de Pologne is still there to take.
