Great first win for Di Data..........and a very nice early return of investment as a sponsor!

Great to see the team doing well. Looking forward to see what they will be doing in the year ahead!

Stoked for Di Data...

Great for Di Data but somewhat of a hollow victory considering that Etix Quikstep was banned from entering! With Kittel in the form he is in one wonders how many of the sprint finishes Cav and Kristoff would have won had they competed?

If that is your point why don't you include Caleb Ewan and Greipel into the mix as well ?

I can't wait to see the top 5 in a sprint finish

is the Tour of Qatar a WT event? or 2.1 etc?

 

Edit: it's a 2.HC

Maybe because they weren't barred from taking part, they chose not to come.
