Can't you just enjoy good racing? I'm not a fanboy of any team/rider yet can watch races and be interested

Anybody know why Cance isn't on the startlist? Probably some obvious reason I've forgotten. 
He hasn't done the openingsweekend for ages. Don't think he ever even raced it.

Never rode it entirely indeed. A quick PCS search showed he raced het Volk twice (2003, 2008) and KBK only one (2004).

I'm really interested to see, what Tony can do on proper cobbled races.
I really can´t see how it will work, all I can think of is that he´ll work for one of the leaders or try and get into a break, how does a team like Etixx keep everybody happy anyway for the cobble season..

Honestly, no. Ever since I've got into cycling I've always had riders to cheer for, and without feeling like I have a stake in the action, I find it hard to have any motivation to make time or get up early to watch a race. It's like that for me in all sports that I love. I watch the World Series every year, but it's much more exciting for me to watch baseball when my team is in it.
I understand it may not be like that for other people like you guys, so i probably should have phrased my first post to specify that it's only difficult for me, but that's just how I feel.
Or maybe I'm just losing motivation in cycling as a whole. Could be why I haven't played PCM for fun since August, even though I think it's a much better game than PCM 14. But I don't think so, because when I watch old clips from my favorite races, I still get that rush.

I'm guessing Benoot. Form looks good and he should be up for it. This early in the campaign the edge might just be with someone still trying to make their mark and therefore being fully motivated. |

GVA for the victory.
Terpstra and Benoot in the podium. Maybe top 5 for Kristoff or Sagan.
Well, also is possible that Tony make an attack and goes solo for 40 or 50 kms. |

Why not just hang in there with whats left go Garmin? I mean they still have Talansky and you possibly can't dislike Rolland and Urán is always up there in the Giro. For what its worth, they have a more interesting squad this year, but I know all about cheering for specific riders. |

I still root for Garmin. I still root for Talansky and I'm hoping Dombrowski can finally emerge. I like Rolland, though I don't like Uran that much. So I'll still be pulling for them throughout the season, but there haven't been any races where those riders could really shine where it actually matters yet.

Well, he stated, that he wants to hang on and maybe try something after the cobbles. But he isn't sure how well he will be able to hang on on those steep narrow climbs.
