Spring Classics
Postby GAV!N » Wed Feb 26, 2014 12:43 pm
Who's your pick for the big ones? Can't dispute that Boonen is in excellent form right now, but can he knock off Spartacus!?!? Throw Sagan in for extra spice and we should be in for some good spring classics this year! Can't wait!

Interesting to see them still riding on the footpaths against UCI rules.... a bit cheeky and unfair I think.
Strade-Bianche this weekend! The first Sagan-Cancellara classics battle for the year. A lot of big names in their too!

Sagan & Cav have got to be the favourites, but really hoping there's some excitement, maybe Gilbert, Van Avermaet, Cancellara in the mix.

Sagan was looking good and I was surprised to see him not really feature at all in the contest for the line.
Disappointing for Cancellara. Let's see what he can do at Flanders and Roubaix.

He had Paolini there keeping him fresh right until the end I believe.There was certainly no one better than Kristoff in the sprint. No lead out for him at all and basically won the sprint from the front!
Yep -Disappointing for Cancellara. Let's see what he can do at Flanders and Roubaix.
He'll be better at Roubaix.

Fabian Cancellara, Tom Boonen, Peter Sagan, Ian Stannard, Alexander Kristoff just to name a few.
