Kruijswijk really deserved the win today, but most importantly - my fantasy team got a 1-2-3 today!

It indeed looked like that. I'm asking myself: if Chavanel has gone with Izagirre, wich is possible if you look at him passing Tejay, why didn't he do that?

It was De Weert. Nice win by Kruiswijk
Pozzato sucks!

Dutch cycling has really bright future.. Gesink, Mollema, Kruijswijk, Kreder, Boom, Langeveld, Vermelfoort,.. That's impressive list!
Nice stage, great ride by Kruijswijk. And Leopard failed once again today.

Kruijswijk is awesome!
Mollema also still very good
3 Rabo Dutchies in the top 6 of the GC! All my predictions of 7/8 years ago are coming through about Dutch GC riders 8)
We had none, now there's 4/5 |

From what I have seen, both Mollema and Kruijswijk are quite good timetrialists.

In a few years you can add Slagter and Kelderman. 
Edit: And I don't think Ten Dam is a good gc rider. At least not as good as the Kruijswijk, Mollema and Gesink. He's more like a good mountain domestique.

Now quoting what you said in March:
Yes, but we've been saying that for 5 years now. And still, there hasn't been a big classic won. The last prestigious win was in 2007 when Dekker won Romandie.
Arguably you could say Emilia or Montreal by Gesink, but even that is not something huge yet.
They all have talent, but the big races are always for someone else. So they are simply not good enough yet, and I wonder if they ever will be.
You're much more positive now

I saw Kelderman racing two years ago and he did a 50-km solo to get some hundred euros prize/bonus sprint money. Even the gruop with some of the best German riders was back more than 2 minutes.
Rabobank has a very strong team at the Tour de Suisse and i´m happy to see Cunego and Leipheimer beaten by Kruiswijk. Let´s see what Rabo will do in the TdF.

5 Dutch riders for Grand Tours? Gesink, Mollema, Kruijswijk, Hoogerland/Poels and.. Dekker? 
EDIT: Leopold Konig 14th today! 
I know why I wrote last winter that he will be one of the best riders in NetApp - he was in talks with RadioShack for the contract for this season as he totally dominated Czech cycling season last year.. I think NetApp will be in 2-3 seasons in the ProTour, the team looks for me quite like Vacansoleil before some years..
