    Zaug for first win in his career? Can't see race organisers looking forward to having him as winner...

    30 years old. Not exactly a young up n' comer, but fair play if he does it.

    Great win for Zaugg! Not a great final 30km parcours though

    Deserved win looking at his jump on the last climb.

    Typical Lombardy race of attrition

    He's won nothing since he turned pro in 2004 - despite several years in Saunier-Duval and Gerolsteiner

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    I had to double take to see who won.

    At first I thought it was this fella:

    Big ride Nibs, big ride Zaugg, nice one my my man Martin. Mention to Betancour (expecting big things) and Niemiec.

    Last 10km:

    Well done Zaug. Biggest shock winner of a Monument since....?

    Well, Johan van Sumeren (sp?) at this years P-R...?

    Think that was Harmon's point at the end of the race too

    Possibly and I take the point Harmon was making about surprise winners but I'd argue Zaug is a bigger surprise and P-R is possibly a race that lends itself more to an outsider winning?

    Vansummeren.


    My verdict (partly ruined by Eurosport highlights): Dull.
