hmm - so are we up for a new debate about which is better - GT's or the classics?
Waiting for Stage 3 .... and for Paris-Roubaix

..or we both have too much free time, or more likely are very good employees at our respected work places![]()

The talented Belgian continued by commenting on the shape of some of his rivals and couldn't resist making an insulting remark about Dekker Tifosi.
"Some riders have definitely impressed me. Thirteen looked incredibly strong and VDB is also on track for the cobbled classics. With "Team argue" out of contention I felt really good today. I would just like to stress how nice it is to be able to enjoy cycling without having to listen to D_T's bull **** all day."
Libertine Seguros said:I'll claim I can do it, regardless of form, prevent my team's other sprinter who is in much better form from racing it, and then blow up embarrassingly in the race.
To be honest I felt like I did well to last as long as I did. Maybe I was a bit optimistic in saying I could do it, but I've achieved every other goal I've set out for myself so far. Roll on Scheldeprijs.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the stages! Maybe after the season is over where there's a void of action and news he could give us a stage by stage.

Stupid onem@n@rmy throwing away a monument for the musicthreadteam![]()
Michielveedeebee said:A little try for MSR, here goes:
With April and spring looming it's time for the first Monument of the season, La Primavera, Milano-San Remo.
The favourites for today's race:
Libertine Seguros (Team Enigma) - Very fast finish, but has trouble getting over Capo Berta
El Pistolero (Team Argue) - If he and his teammate D_T don't pull eachother of their bikes he might very well win this
Zamasailo (Team Italy) - This young and promising Italian will have a great team at his disposal with TheoSheva as road captain
Onem@n@rmy (Music Team) - This good climbing sprinter will led a strong team with the ever attacking Michielveedeebee (oh yes, I include myself in my own story ) and the strong Kvinto
Outsiders for victory: TLR - Thirteen - Mewmewmew - Jens Attacks - Boomcie
Great confusion at the start! The banned DAOTEC showed up, demanding that he was allowed to start. The officials Ferminal and Susan Westemeyer pulled him away. He kept screaming in a language unkown to mankind.
Under a bright sun the peloton took of towards San-Remo. After 10 kms Jens_attacks and Thirteen attacked, but the peloton, reminding her impressive victory from a breakaway only a week earlier, did not let them go.
The riders from the Argue Team decided to ride at a frantic pace, but on La Manie team leaders D_T and Pistolero clashed, and started fighting over the outfits the team should wear.

Their race was of course over. Due to the confusion this caused, mewmewmew, TheoSheva and Kvinto got away in the descent. Their lead expanded to 6 minutes until Libertine Seguros got his famous train on the rails.
![]()
The leading trio only had half a minute left when they arrived at the Capi.
Kvinto decided that the peloton had come close enough and he accelerated on Mele. Mewmew was the first to react, but the moment she got onto Kvinto's wheels she cramped up. Race over. TheoSheva on the other hand reacted a bit slower and got back to Kvinto. Due to his terrible climbing skills, LS commanded his minions to stop pulling and the lead got up to one minute by the time they had arrived at the bottom of the Cipressa.
Onem@n@rmy sent MichielVeeDeeBee up the road, with Timmy and Thirteen responding his attack. At the top of the Cipressa they had bridged the gap to Kvinto and Theosheva, with the peloton following on a mere 30 seconds. Kvinto gave his last bidon to VeeDeeBee and softpedalled to the finish. TheoSheva tried to go with the new leaders but after being on the front for so long he lacked the strength to react. He let the peloton catch him so the Italian team finally got to work.
VDB, Thirteen and TLR worked together at the front and close to the top of the Poggio Thirteen, who clearly is in Top shape, attacked once again. TLR reacted with VDB in his wheel.

Meanwhile Michele was tearing the peloton apart for team leader Zamasailo and pre-race favourite Libertine Seguros had to let go.
The peloton's deficit was only 15 seconds at the top of the Poggio, thanks to Michele's incredible pull. Thirteen's uncontrolled attacklust got her to fall in the dangerous descent of the Poggio. She escaped unhurt but her chances at victory in La Primavera were gone. At the bottom the gap had extended to 25 second. The Italian team was going full gas to take back Timmy and VeeDeeBee. Zamasailo was last in line with Onem@n@rmy and boomcie in his wheel. When the peloton got as close as 5 seconds Timmy attacked once more. VDB let go, hoping for a better result in RvV 2 weeks later.
Alone, Timmy didn't stand a chance against the Italians.

This Primavera was clearly going to end up in a bunch sprint. Without LS contesting the sprint, this one was everyone's for the taking!
With 500 m to go Zamasailo was getting the perfect lead-out but as this was his first Monument as team leader, the young sprinter succumbed to the stress and went way to early with still 350 m to go.
Onem@n@rmy jumped out of Zama's wheel with 200 m to go and thought he was victorious! Raising his arms into the air, he realised he had just made the biggest mistake a cyclist can make. Cheering too soon.
Parrulo, who clearly survived the hills well(not the expectations!), really came out of nowhere to take the biggest win of his life!
