Cavendish would have a chance, but will he be fit enough this year?

He won with Le Manie, but that's because the pace was too slow there. Then he bacame a target, with a focus to keep the pace high there and drop him.

Then there's Phinney...

Or Ciolek (or Gerro) all over again. Are Degenkolb or Kittel on the start list?

Looking at Cerro's new post it seems as though Trek has designed their new forks to work with both Direct Mount and Standard Mount Brakes. Check out his second picture o the fork weight

Hushovd is the first casualty of this years spring classics. It looked like a broken collarbone.

I was thinking more of a broken wrist after I saw him sit down, but could also be a collarbone. Unfortunately.

Is Team Sky using new helmets? Boasson Hagen's Kask looks all black with white side stripes? No center turquoise?

Or is it simply a rain cover?

EDIT: Now at the finish it's more clear. Appears to be an all black Infinity.

This has got to be the best race of the season so far. Loving the painface!

Whatever Sky did to the classic boys, they do it right. GVA has no choice, EBH was at the back ready to sprint, and Ian long diesel sprint is quite a surprise. I really rooted for GVA but I hope Sky does prove everyone wrong this season. Might not get the monuments but this is a great start with double podium.

Im loving those, Mallorcan themed, shoes. And in fact, I may have a friend who knows Millar enough to ask for them!
Failing that, what are the chances they put them into production?

Apparently all Millars shoes are being auctioned off for the small steps project, so doubt you'll be getting any freebies

Anyone else notice GVA only had one glove? Theories? My guess is it's probably all about the aero :)
