'Dale Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Valverde the strongest rider in the race, rode his luck a bit in the finish but also showed character and experience to close out the win and hold off the bunch.
TALUS Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Amazing stuff. Hopefully watching that on the IDT tmrw. Thx 'Dale
tombeej Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Dale, many thanks for the commentary. Much appreciated.

Cellar Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 There's a daily Paris-Nice highlights package on Superb Sport too! Yeah, seeing Nacer in skin tight clothes on a road stage doesn't do it for me. Great weekend for Valverede. This does appear to be the best form he's been in ever. Might finally be a big stage race year for him.
kosmonooit Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) What was Pozzovivo thinking in wheelsucking Valverde towards the end when the pelaton was charging towards them? He lost the podium ... Stunning ride into Rome. Edited March 9, 2014 by kosmonooit
jcza Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Cavendish, Boonen, Stybar and Kwiatkowski will lead OPQS at MSR. Petacchi and Trentin in support. Roll on Sunday!!! Cav' and Andrew Steer 2

kosmonooit Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Apparently Boonen attacked Stybar yesterday on the final stage of Paris-Nice, I just missed it, but Sean Kelly was saying it probably was a mistake, otherwise they seem to have a good team dynamic going. If they can get Cav to the line, fine, otherwise they have a few other options.

Jakkals. Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Didn't see that, Stybar was dropped from lead group. Looking at sprinters don't count out Greipel & Kittel.Kittel wont race MSR, degenkolb wil race.
'Dale Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014  Kittel wont race MSR, degenkolb wil race. OGE's Gerrans is also targeting this one.Gonna be intense.298 kms of attrition.  GO SAGAAAN!!!
jcza Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Kittel wont race MSR, degenkolb wil race. Confirmed? I thought with all the other top sprinters there Kittel would also be there.
Andrew Steer Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Confirmed? I thought with all the other top sprinters there Kittel would also be there.I'm not sure he's good for that distance... but they used to say that about Cav too
jcza Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Gazzetta today quotes Sergio Henao's agent, Giuseppe Acquadro, saying client isn't racing pending investigation of anomalous "values".
