New Scott bikes for Green Edge? A mix of Foils and an unknown model.Big photo here.


Last year Green Edge used the Scott CR1 during the classic cobblestone races. It's hard to see, but this could be a 'normal CR1.



It looks like a Foil with a different seatpost clamp - for round seatposts?

DJConnel- go watch the stage you quoted- FC blows up completely after his monster pull and crawls home. He wasn't that amazing before 2006, which as we know is totally when everyone stopped doping. If anything he is far more impressive now or at least 2008-2011.

He did finish strong in Paris-Roubaix before his first win, but yes, his most impressive results are 2008 and after. I like to think that he is one of the cleaner riders, but you never know for sure.

Based on E3, Ronde will be a Fabian show. At least my wife will be happy about that.

Sagan wins Gent-Wevelgem. So happy this thread is goin again! haha. If you're looking for a place to watch the race check out steephill.tv ... I remember following the tour by text updates on the internet. Now it's possible watch a good race live on TV and more than one race at a time streaming on the internet.

Fuentes shows up to court every day with pictures of cyclists and other athletes in his notebook and then 'casually' drops them out in front of the press, the guy is trying to blackmail everyone including the government of Spain, the question is, is the Spanish legal system and sporting community strong enough to take its medicine. Cycling is the pawn in the Fuentes trial.

Fwiw, the legal system will also be responsible for making the bags available for testing. Theres 2 wada accredited labs in Spain, Madrid and Barcelona. The bags currently sit in Barcelona...think there's any rivalry there as well maybe? Hmmmm....

I'm watching it on steep hill tv in French.

And Haussler attacks off the front but it's worth noting that Sagan has four men with him in the front group. :lol: :lol:

The Sky train is currently ripping the Crit Int to absolute shreds. Spitting people out all over the place.

And that is why Sagan has been the favourite for all the classics this year. It was just a matter of time.

Best victory celebration ever?

Sagan was clever not to jump too early, a common problem for riders who suddenly find themselves fighting for the win. Also, he worked in the breakaway the whole time, so a well deserved win.
