Okay -- I stand corrected! I'm a bit out of date on my Enduro. From 2012:

Lycra, hardtails, high saddles... That's endurance!

Come on, get with the times! Enduro is all about high fiving bros dressed like storm troopers riding bright neon long travel bikes "just for fun" while taking it all far too seriously on a series of DH's (where you may often also get an uplift to the top of the trail). Couldn't be more different :D

Yeah, that looks more like marathon than enduro.

And tbh, the biggest problem with glasses in marathon is steaming up, so goggles really wouldn't work!

Cyclingnews says no Hesjedal for the Ardennes this year...I wonder why?

Kwiatkowski wins Amstel Gold, curse is broken :-)

I dont know what to think of Valvepiti but man does he know how to show up for a race...all year! Grand tours included. I dont see how his level is possible even understanding current doping trends.

Well the one thing about him is that he is consistently top 5, but not consistently winning. Could be both a blessing and a curse.

Kwiatkowski pulling a Valverde on everyone, including the man himself. That was cool.

Yeah, I didnt get why they wouldnt let Greg work with Fulsgang.
At that time Movistar had no riders to chase and no team had the force to chase back.

Must have been some kind of agreement inside the team for Flanders/Roubaix for Greg and the Ardennes for Phil but still betting on the wrong guy.
