The Classics

Despite being 38 years old Bernie Eissel from DDD still managed to beat Willie Smit by about 4 minutes during yesterday's race.

one is at the start of his career the other is on his 35th Classic. Should have been 34 minutes. Kudos to Willie.

My call has to be GvA for the win Sunday.

 

Only problem is he has a really weak team to support him the first 150km into the race.

 

Then again Trek Segafredo has a very strong team, together with ....Quickstep.

Greg is almost 34..time is not on his side and the youngster are coming at him ..he is running out of time to win it.

Tactically one of Sagan's best wins..perfectly time attack after an effort from GVA.. while they all looked at each other he disappeared up the road... and SMASHED those cobbles..Cancellara still commented on Sagan and how he rode the corners on the cobbled sections that when you take then like that you know he is on a good day..it was a beautiful day.

Yep, was a perfect moment of indecision where nobody wanted to do the actual work to follow his wheel, thinking "surely someone else will follow and then I will latch on"

 

Was unbelievable to watch.

I also have a feeling its going to be Greg's day..he has had a brilliant build up to the race and probably hitting peak form at the right time.

But want Wout to win..Jumbo my new favorite team so support then all the way!
