Pinot probably couldnt believe his luck. Berto got mobbed... but his peak is only for later in the year where Pinot is targeting Giro.

 

Berto left some guys struggling to hold his wheel with that attack. He looked hungry. I think Trek also suits him better, Felline helped him a lot. If that was Tinkoff, then Berto would probably have been by himself in that selected group.

Another impressive win by Valverde

His 100th I think in top-flight racing

Contador, Valverde as well as Pinot are in good shape so early in the season.

Awesome looking kit

 

What an attack by the veteran
