Froomey! Damn what a race. He's in good form this year. I think a battle between him and Valverde will be awesome

Froome wins, TJ the bridesmaid, and Uran the flower girl. Gorilla takes the stage from Bouhanni and Bennet.

Froomster set a new KOM on that Green Mountain climb.

Quite a chunk of J Rod's winning ascent from 2013.

 

:eek:

 

It will be noted in the peloton.

Greipel was also impressive - even popped a wheelie at the end of one of the stages.

He's got like 6 victories thus far for the season or something.

 

Very impressive in a world where sprinting wins are a very hard fought accomplishment.

So many high quality sprinters around now.

Yes it was mentioned that he can climb better than most sprinters, which gives him a distinct advantage.

 

And Kittel, Degankolp? Its going to be the year of the great German sprinters, maybe that will provoke some interest in pro road cycling in their home country. Cav will take the scraps methinks.

Chuck last year's Milan San Remo winner into that mix as well...

Cav' has his homework cut out for him.

Kittel has risen.

Degenkolb is also very potent although often lead out for Kittel.
