I actually expected Tinkoff to be one of the best teams in TTT, not a surprise, but FDJ, yeah...

Yeah, that is fair comparsion. So lets make another one in four years, as now i expect four green jerseys and dozens of WT and GT stage wins from Gaviria in next four years.

Btw. Sagan started to be overrated by whole cycling world AFTER his first WT and GT wins in 2011, not BEFORE like Gaviria...until then he was already junior WC in MTB and silver medalist from junior cyclocross WC. Still nobody was not aware of him outside of Slovakia...

all 15 of them  I don't know, sounds hard to Gaviria to match to be honest, especially for a sprinter.
edit: okay I'm cheating now cause 2012 should be included, so it's around 23

Hihi, no worries Avin, he'll show you what he's capable of soon enough.

What's up with this team and crashes, does Vaughters put sleeping pills in their water bottles?

Oh yeah over a dozen GT wins is easy. Any sprinter gets that, no problem.
Gaviria is a talent, sure. But that's as far as it goes for now. For many sprinters, even one GT win is enough to make their career. Don't think winning 15 or more is that easy. 99% of all sprinters never get there. |

I'm enjoying Team Time Trials more and more every time I see them.
Used to be a time I didn't even bother watching the broadcast when it was a TTT but now I find them among the most exciting races 
beautiful discipline. |

You guys are funny talking like Gaviria has had any chance to prove himself on that level yet, this is his first World Tour race. So far, he stepped up his level every time to the occassion, even winning a stage in Tour of Britain. Remember, guy raced for Colombia Coldreportes, they don't exactly get Wildcards to the Tour de France. Can't wait to see him leave some burned soil at Tirreno.

Well with Vaughters I wouldn't be all that surprised if this was true
