Jamsque posted:Froome tweeted that the peloton wasn't being given accurate time gaps, Catalunya has been a pretty disorganized event in the past so it seems plausible. Hopefully it makes for interesting racing in the rest of the stages. Good. It's great when they can't just plan to catch the break the second it hits the finish straight

http://www.tinkoffsaxo.com/news/tinkoff-saxo-statement-bjarne-riis/quote:Bjarne Riis is not being actively involved in the team’s activities since last Sunday. However, he was not suspended of his active role because of lack of results nor for financial issues. Pretty much confirms hes going to get roasted in that report about doping then.

Without Boonen to distract people he'll be marked very tightly. Stybar seems to slip peoples notice a lot.

Poor Sagan. Super bummed about Cancellara. Wasn't he saying this was his final year? Can't imagine Boonen sticking out too much longer either. So who's left? Vanmarcke, Van Avermaet, Kristoff, Degenkolb, Stybar, Terpstra, Thomas, Wiggo (for Roubaix)? Would be interesting to see if Vandenbergh can pick something up, he keeps popping up in the finales but always has to work for others. Lars Boom could poke his head up. Or Devolder, I guess he's next in line at Trek, though they could ride for Stuyven if they wanted to. Would be super interesting if Wiggo DOES win, he's not really shown his cards in the traditional test races and has thus avoided the crashes that have taken out the old guard.

Poor dude almost never gets the chance to lead in one-day races, he used to be working for Flecha and Stannard and now he's working for Swift and Wiggo. On top of that he has the most frequently mis-spelled name in the peloton, which is impressive given all the Keukeleires and Debusscheres and Txurrukas going about. I swear the first time he rode Le Tour the graphics got his first name and last name the wrong way round. All of which is a rather long-winded way of pointing out that it's Geraint, not Gerriant;

Imagine being Maartin Tjallinggii and your team tells you to go on a solo attack with 90k to go and hurricane force winds about. At least we know who Maarttin Tjjallinngii is now.

They were talking about this race possibly getting neutralised earlier but the winds seemed to have calmed a bit. I don't think i'd want to be riding in the wet on cobbles with this.
