Belgians always perform well in January. Take it away Pisti.

That's what was said this time last year, how wrong it proved to be.

He won't lose much in the TT, but climbing-wise he shouldn't be too confident after what he showed earlier.

Maybe his climbing has gotten worse due to all his efforts to improve against the clock?

Stage 5 reminder:

Climb details:

A break gets it perhaps.

not at all... last year he rode much better and year before he won the itt...

 

[HiCadence]

I heard there is only one camera covering the race at the final 300 metres??

You don't miss an opportunity to bad mouth Nibali for the sake of it. Is this foreshadowing what your next avatar will be?
