I hate when Valverde/Cunego/another climber with over 70SP sprints!! They always take good spots from me(and you)
One tip (If you didn't know):
When the red bar is empty, you'll fall behind. Maybe that's the reason why your train is always getting behind right before the sprint. Looking forward to the classics

Ignatiev and Boom have always a lot of energy left but they have to slow down so Cav can follow them

Tirreno - Adriatico Stage 6
Quinziato, Vaugrenard, Posthuma and Cornu were some of the early leaders
But then Cancellara came and he beat everyone
Boom, Zabriskie, Nibali and Gutierrez tried but nothing
Not fantastic times for Gerdemann and Rogers. They will be 13th and 15th overall at the end of the day
Devolder and Kloden were close, Kloden was even second but still not enough to beat Cancellara
Contador has a good time. Can he win Tirreno this year?
Valverde has a pretty good time and he keeps the leader's jersey

Milano - Sanremo
The breakaway.
Hincapie and Gusev were in front on Pompeiana, the last hill. But they were caught, first Hincapie then Gusev
Some attacks from Cancellara, Flecha, Kirchen, Ballan and Devolder
Ballan was the strongest and soon he was alone in front
Kirchen was after him
Right after him are the other 3 and then very close is the pack
Kirchen is caught and he lost the second place
Ballan wins 'The Primavera'
Flecha is second
While Kirchen is the last one in the chasing group

Dwars door Vlaanderen
The breakaway.
An early attack by Hoste
Gilbert attacks right when Eisel was setting the pace after Hoste
Deolvder and Flecha are after him and then Hincapie and Ballan
They caught Hoste so no 6 riders are in front on the last cobbled section
A move by Hincapie...
And he got away
Less than 1 km and I think that they've lost Hincapie
Big George starts celebrating before the last corner
Cause he know that he's the winner!
Results
1. George Hincapie Team Columbia 5h18'46
2. Philippe Gilbert Française des Jeux s.t.
3. Juan Antonio Flecha Rabobank s.t.
4. Stijn Devolder Quick·Step s.t.
5. Alessandro Ballan Lampre s.t.
6. Leif Hoste Silence - Lotto s.t.
7. Johan Vansummeren Silence - Lotto + 1'06
