What's the hype with Gaudu? Was he that FDJ guy that came to the front flailing like mad, to set a high pace for the FDJ leader that was nowhere to be seen?
Found that a strange move.
He is young, showed himself and we are on PCM Daily = he is hyped.
Hmm, maybe because he is insanely talented (look at Catalunya) and no neo pros really does what he does....
Well that's just a wrong statement "no neo-pros really does what he does". I'll just say to go and look at other rider neo-pro seasons, like Alaphillippe, Sagan, Cavendish, Gesink, Horner and many many others.
No neo pros does what he does, Im talking about the present, this year. |

Oh that was an attack of Gaudu...didn't realize that.
Watched it again with that knowledge but it still doesn't look like an attack.
He flails like a drunk epileptic, comes up front, flails some more,
looks around and goes backwards.
But yeah he has some serious achievements to his name but hold your horses.
Afterall too much "talent" might let you die young in your sleep with an heart attack.
Just pulling your leg. But honestly soo much can happen.
Injury, illness, loss of interest for the sport, some not so smart team change. |

I haven't seen a single race so far this season. And now I'm reading this has been the best season like ever?
I did see final 2 km of Amstel. Hooray! |

Well you've certainly missed out, as this has been an atypical season so far in classics racing and it kind of reminds me of the good old days when riders would attack from way out and the attacks would stick.

Valverde: "Scarponi's death has been a massive blow. If I win today, all prizes I get will go to his family."
I really hope an Astana rider wins or someone who knew Scarponi well. |

Sad that De Rosa decided to go after Sky money. He would had much bigger role at any classics. |

Breakaway still have a chance to win this. 43 km to go, 5'30 gap to the group
We might see a re-edition of the MG LBL

I have probably never seen Kreuziger being in such an attacking mood.

The peloton is being a little too complacent with that chase group.
Edit: i stand corrected.
Also, where is all the discussion.? 10 km to go and we have half a page of posts on the race. We used to fill threads with a dozen pages discussing monuments.
