Great rides by Felix English and Germaine Burton there. Am very interested to see how English goes this season - especially now he's in a team with Opie.

Yes, I think Opie is the better sprinter, and I suspect is likely to get to the end of more stages/races in which to contest the sprint, too..

Magnus Backsteadt was saying that Opie does the numbers (I've seen them, decent, and he's small too) to be right up there in sprinting terms and with a proper lead-out could be one of the names in sprinting.
