    I accept that the OGE train is a shambles and Goss doesn't have a prayer of winning a stage. The disappointment is that OGE also seem to have accepted that too. Thoght they'd have shown a bit more spirit.
    Even worse now as Brett Lancaster abandoned today (crashed on saturday, apparently)

    Chavanel has gone too. A real shame he was ill as he is a superb and exciting rider. He spiced up the start for sure.

    Head into Pau, outfoxes them all and wins the sprint.

    so standard Fedrigo.
    It's about time Fedrigo considered having a proper bash at the Belgian Spring Classics - he's got the ability and the tactics.

    Aye but is he good over 200km?

    And will he make the selections?

    I think he's probably left it a bit late in his career.

    He's a canny rider, but classics are a different ball game. Besides, as a Frenchman on a French team winning a TdF stage on a regular basis is probably just as lucrative.

    Yeah. Look, he's a smart guy with a fast finish from a group of under 10. Probably one of the best - but that's pretty niche and he's basically racing against 10 people in that.

    That's about it, in my limited knowledge of him.
