Seeing him in the move again made the race less boring for me, even though I knew it wouldn't stick.<br /><br />He already has 2 wins to his young pro career from his time last season at An Post-Sean Kelly. Clearly Rambo taught him something! This 23 year old's name is worth noting for the future, not only by the directors of Pro Tour squads, but by the public as well.Touriste-Routiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477004101107066072.post-24700639270181949662010-04-19T17:13:57.795-04:002010-04-19T17:13:57.795-04:00Great summary.

Not a bad classics season at all. Those riders really animated races. Chapeau encore.<br />The Schlecks were a bit disappointing in the end, actually. <br />I'd love to see Horner bag a huge win this week, but realistically, it's probably asking too much given the quality of competition.<br />And finally, those two russians on Katusha warm my heart. Fearless, and a joy to watch.Big Mikeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477004101107066072.post-11687674638792854432010-04-19T17:11:43.027-04:002010-04-19T17:11:43.027-04:00Great round-up and I agree the 1st hour on telly w...Great round-up and I agree the 1st hour on telly was dull. Will Fleche be any different with the slight changed route? Also how bad was Team Sky's performance. I am disappointed i really expected better from gerransAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
