Send Nibali to Lotto and Aru to the other Lotto as punishment.

Strade Bianchi and Roma Maxima, the best new races this week. :hist101:

Well it already has, Joerg Jaschke blew the lid on his doping and burying EPO alongside the road or whatever

Even if Jens is juiced to the gills like everyone else, he was still a likeable personality. It's not like his fans like him for his amazing win record. At least that's not why I do.


Say Froome Dog and Jens turn out on exactly the same stuff. Froome has way more wins, but is still a piece of poo poo whiny bitch that everybody loves to hate.

I drove a lot of these roads once after bailing out of a traffic jam north of Siena. Unfortunately it was at night and I couldn't enjoy the view.

The gravel roads are sketchy as hell.

This is an eerily accurate statement. (Can Stybar do sick2nasty wheelies though?)

That was a fun race to watch. I really, really wanted Vanmarcke to come back at them in the end but he was just too gassed.

I think if Sagan gets lucky or a few key names don't turn up he could still win something.

Can't remember which commentator was like "I dunno why people are already writing Sagan off? He's so young?"
Probably cuz he hasn't delivered real high level results outside of the green jersey for a while.

The way intermediate sprint points have been awarded has ruined the green jersey for the last 2 years so hopefully it will be different this time.

I think it was Magnus that said "I hope he doesn't do something stupid like try to become a GC rider" during the commentary of a race somewhere.

Agreed. I don't begrudge him for responding to the rules, but they've just sucked all the air out of sprint finishes
