Masterclass in sprinting backwards by Wright by the way, he has work to do ahead of the classics.

Did he ever showed he is fast enough to win a sprint in this big of a group? He is not slow, but far from the fast guys (proper sprinters, MVDP, Wout, Pedersen etc.), so I can see him winning a sprint of 4-5 guys or bigger group if most of them are climbers.

Not saying he should be beating Girmay in a race like this, but I would expect him to be able to beat the likes of Ciccone, Bendixen and Soto in a sprint...

You keep going on about that eyesight thing...

Yeah, because it‘s Bini… You know, I care about his health just as he would be my own son… He‘s so fragile and tender…

All things must be 100%, so that he can beat even MVdP and WVA… :)

You know - his sensitive eyes…

But today‘s win made me super happy :)

Romo looking good today. What happened to him last year? He was invisible in almost every race he entered.

Watch out for Tom Gloag today, Van Der Sande said he was flying in the training camp in Calpe and he has looked very good at Cumbres del Sol

On the flip side for Jumbo, Oomen has failed to make this 40-rider peloton. A shame he's never properly recovered from his iliac artery surgery, may be time to pack it in at the end of the year for him given that he's out of contract.
