Poor start of the season continues for Rabobank. They should be able to place at least 1 guy in the top 10 here.

You wonder what they have been doing at training camp? Drink a lot of coffee and not train?

Good to see. with the TDF course as it is and Contador banned hoping he has found something to really push him this season.

Presume he is riding PN

Good thing Gesink is taking an easier run in with murcia instead of PN/tirreno.
Hopefully Catalunya will go through so he can ride that in march as planned. Otherwise they might have to find an alternative

1 Freire
2 Cavendish
3 Greipel

...


Ok actually it was Freire over Daniel Schorn (who?), Bling Matthews, Marco Marcato and Simon Geschke.

Bonus dutchie Pim Lighart in 6th, Rein Taaramae in 9th for some reason just behind slow-ass Daniele Bennati.

Matteo Carrara 27th. That's his first 27th place finish since the Tour of Murcia nearly two years ago.

Not really. There was a tough hill before in the final. But the finish run-in was totally flat/downhill

Well yeah, hill at 6km to go. Still whittled the peloton down (60 riders) to those sprinters who can get over a hill.

Break of the day is Voigt (yay!), Trofimov, Azanza, Izaguirre, Hollenstein and Marino.

1'30" with 60km to ride.

This reminds me, has Jens_Attacks made it over here from CN? I always kinda liked that guy even though he was crazy.

I think he registered but hasn't posted too much.     I look forward to seeing him cheering on Davide Rebellin, Stefan Schumacher, Vino etc in various events.

Fignon - In my day, doping methods were derisory and the riders´exploits were massive.
For the last 15 years or so  it has been the other way rond: there is a huge number of ways in which riders can dope, and any exploits are derisory.

Well I've been quite busy lately to post but is nice to see that Freire didnt disappoint me and took the stage that I called for him haha
and I still can believe the change of mind that Dani Moreno had with his transfer to Katusha... Purito has been taught him well   :o

Nice to see Valverde starting to win everything as is usual haha

watch out Phil... Valverde is here  8)
