I actually agree with Cio. Imo Ciolek could do well in a course like AGR. He changed from being a pure sprinter with better puncheur skills to a decent "puncheur" with better sprint skills.
Obviously not on the level of the real puncheurs.
But the hills in AGR proved to be spritner friendlier than others. In top form I still wouldn`t expect him to win there as other guys like Sagan in especially are too strong. But top10 or even a podium would be possible I think.
My opinion: He didn't change at all, he was always like that. He just stopped pretending he's a sprinter. People being annoyed at him wasting potential by wanting to be a sprinter was a popular topic circa 2007-2008
Too bad he's lost 5 years of development

I think Ciolek is ultimately still a sprinter. Sure, he's definitely not a pure sprinter like Greipel or Cav, but nonetheless, he is a fast finisher. He does have a punchy ability and can climb shorter hills quite nicely, probably due to his physique. I guess I'd probably rate him 77/78 Sprint and a 73/74 hill. Ciolek and Impey are quite similar riders come to think of it 
On an unrelated note, I just read this on Twitter (posting from my mobile):
@UberFacts:
In 2008, the Dutch voted "Swaffelen" as their word of the year - This means to smack one's penis repeatedly against someone or something.
Dutch people  - and I thought South Africans were weird

@Aidan Yeah, swaffelen, I remember that(the word, not doing it)
But our 'words of the year' are weird most of the time, I have to say...

Having a plan to sleep in and a weird-ass dream about big spiders don't go together. Oh well, I guess I have a long gaming-day ahead of me, then |

That would be also my plan, but i have to work. 
Just finished Bioshock1 yesterday, installed Bioshock2 which i will finish during the weekend and on Monday there should be mine copy of new Bioshock Infinite at post office.
Cant wait for it, reviews arre just great. And the first Bioshock is probably one of the best games ever made, art deco masterpiece.

Just realized I'll be in London when the FA Cup replay between Chelsea and Manchester United is played.
Seems impossible to get any tickets, though. All I can find on Google are some rather unreliable sites. Any tips? |

Advice: Don't go to anything involving a Premier League team. Overpriced!!!!
For a much better experience go to a pub and watch it there! Loads of people out to have fun and watch the match. Plus alcohol on tap. Just try and find a neutral pub unless you are behind either side

I know it's overpriced. Fulham-QPR will also be playing during my time in London, and the cheapest tickets which is not behind the goals are selling for 55 £... I repeat, it's Fulham-QPR. Doesn't get much more boring than that
However, I'd be willing to pay pretty much anything for a FA Cup quarter-final game between Chelsea-United. So spare me the advice and useless comments (looking at you, Ian ), and tell me how to get a pair of tickets |

It's worth regularly checking https://www.viagog...ed-Tickets . It's probably the biggest UK site where fans sell tickets. You can buy tickets now, but I'm guessing you may not be willing to spend £750
EDIT: the £750 is actually the PL game, not the FA Cup game

Actually, you may want to try here: https://www.1st4fo...13650.html
I've never used them before, but they seem to be genuine

Crommy's site is a good one... and probably the only "safe" one left with tickets. This is a huge game that sold out very very quickly.
Every season ticket holder will take up their seat instantly reducing the remaining number. The rest go so fast to anyone who has the money regardless.
And don't diss Fulham-QPR! Great rivalry, QPR's great escape in full flow, Fulham scrambling to achieve a decent league finish... Would be well worth a visit imo.
Couldn't you try and blag in as a journalist?

Yes, I stumbled upon Viagogo, but there's none for the game
About 1st4football, there's about 6 other sites with exactly the same design, but varying prices. Not very reliable.
Another issue is that eTickets don't seem to be very common in England which is quite an issue since I won't have time to wait for the post man to arrive in Denmark |
