Pfft, he goes faster wheelsucking then launching a sprint. Gets him higher placed

I wonder if Sagan will be in the first group some day this year in Argentina, he seems like doing a sightseeing tour.

Good, don't tire yourself out too early in the season
Now I'm already 95% he'll win the WC

In preparation of yesterday's sprint in San Luis, Walter Pérez and Kenny Dehaes were fighting for Cav's wheel... Literally, because at some point, Pérez became angry with Dehaes and punched him in the eye, yelling that he was going to kill him. Result:

South Americans are doing good in this race. Also Quintana seems to be the only favourite that acts like one. |

Just like Europeans tend to do well in European races.
And Atapuma's also acting the favourite, pleased to see my 83 Mo/ 73 Hi PCM Monster doing well IRL too.

Adam Yates with very impressive result for his first race ever at this level, shows his talent off nicely. Quintana was the favourite, Ladbrokes offered 6/4 on him today, odds were well taken advantage off

Speaking about odds, do you happen to have any idea when the fantasy betting opens? |

And Gaimon keeps the leader's jersey by 4 seconds. |

Too easy for Nairo, he is two levels above the competition in Argentina (from those who seem care about result).

What's going on with Daniel Diaz? Would have thought he'd be peaking for San Luis after winning last year. |

How come Quintana is riding as he is (best climber of the world maybe) and guys like Van Den Broeck are just sucking now? |

Probably motivation and heat.
Quintana wants to show something in South-America and is used to the temperatures, while VDB and the others don't want to jeopardise the rest of the season by overextending themselves in this heat. |

he used to be a level 8...
and no, i am not talking about potential in pcmdaily's db:
https://velonews.competitor.com/2011/0...nce_172784
or you can think about different peaks of form and objectives between the two on the first part of the season....
pick the one you like the most! |

Yeah I know about VDB's suspicions, but it still makes little sense.
If he were doping, he wouldn't have stopped now
I just thought it was odd, Quintana being the only one so strong already.
Maybe he got some class A doping we don't know about? or a mechanical bike |

If he's doping, maybe he only starts doing it in preparation of the Tour.
Also, about that list. I don't know what to think about Santambrogio being "only" level 6 and Ballan level 5. It either proves that everyone above them must be or have been using dope, or that the list is inaccurate.
