Not a fan of the new giant kit, much preferred last years when watching a race.0 -
Haha, amazing photo. You wouldn't get a bus under that, for sure.
RE: Ewan, I think it's a wise choice. Why send him to his first WT race as a neo-pro knowing he'll get annihilated by Kittel? The lad needs a more steady introduction and some room to build confidence.
To be honest I really doubt his pure sprinter credentials right now. He needs time to develop as a WT rider. He could pick up some nice victories this year against lesser opposition or on lumpier stages. During that time time he'll be gaining the strength needed to compete with the likes of Kittel, Cav and Greipel.0 -
Kittel's legs have grown more :shock:Contador is the Greatest0

It's that time of year when Chris Sutton reminds us he's still a pro on Sky's payroll. No doubt his existence will be forgotten again by April0

4th two years in a row. Normally lasts a bit longer, May generally, he'll top 10 some chipper in Europe in March/April. I've just looked at his major achievements on Wiki, didn't realise he'd won KBK.
quick fact the race has only been won by an Australian or a German0 -
What was the dinky helmet Kittel was wearing?
Doesn't look like any on the Giant site?0 -

I also hated on Greg Henderson for some reason. No idea why and he has proved his domestique worth at Lotto.
It was just when he thought he could be a top line sprinter for a bit. He annoyed me.0 -

Couldn't believe it when he got a new contract last year. No idea what he offers.0 -

He won Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne and a stage of the Vuelta. They've had worse.
The thing is, the team probably don't really expect much from him in terms of results. But he probably does what's expected of him as a domestique very reliably, has a good attitude, is liked by the team and is on modest wages. And that's the sort of rider who keeps getting contracts.Twitter: @RichN950 -
Stage 1 result.

He was part of a four man break that just managed to stay away.0

Nice work Bonifazio to win the sprint behind.
Good to see Bobridge win on his local roads:

I've always kind of liked Chris Sutton. Seems like a decent enough bloke. I seem to remember the Belgian commentary for his KBK win was a bit confused- frantically trying to work out who it was before a surprised voice said- Sutton?0 -

Looking through cqranking there are always people on the roster who do a lot less than him. JTL, Josh E, Dombroski, Zandio etc etcFckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -
Took their first ever win too, if I remember rightly.0

What's the story with Bobridge cycling for UniSA - something to do with Rio track ambitions?
Would have thought someone of his potential would be snapped up by a WT team.0 -

Yep. Dropped by Belkin at end of 2014 and decided to focus on track at Rio. So moved back to Australia and signed for Budget Forklifts. Not entirely sure why he was racing in UniSA colours.0 -

Quite like it for the small size, not sure about the aero look though.0 -

My mistake, yes I was thinking of the crit, Sky's first race and one of very few results in '10.0
