Purito really needs to work hard the coming days and weeks.

Training ride here.No worries :)

Sure, but last year he already climbed with the best in Tirreno. This year, not really :D

But perhaps he was involved in the crash with Losada and the other Katusha guy. Some sources are saying that's the case.
Apparently he didn't go down but was caught behind it and missed the split.

What the heck ...Gatto was right up there at end ...and Bennatti was shouldering people on last climb
Yeah, Bennati for some reason decided to bump a rider that was actually pulling the peloton, and subsequently dropped back and was of no use. In proportion to his standing as a world champion, his support (not only today) is very poor. That's just a fact.


Bennatti fell back because of the gradient but at that stage most of the favourites had no one ...Sagan had Gatto who chased ...Stybar had Bramilla but Eddy Bos had just himself

Sagan does not win because he is not always the strongest but also his racing nounce is missing at times
Its not his teammates fault

Spot on this

Tested him when he was 18yrs old I believe

But that was the team that didn't like the test results and didn't want him.
It wasn't Sagan not accepting an offer

They did like the results but they like kwiatkowski his results better

But they signed Kwiatkowski much later, no?

Kwia is younger, and only signed for Etixx when he was 21/22

He's 5 months younger, and then it doesn't make sense that they chose Kwiatkowski over Sagan if they tested Sagan when he was 18 and only signed Kwiatkowski when he was 21/22.

And he wanted his borher on his team. Even though he hasn't half the talent of Peter.
