Sky is just too strong from top to bottom, Ports leadout guy pulled the pack for an hour!
 
Are we gonna see Sagan's first classics win at E3 today? If not today, on Sunday at Gent-Wevelgem? Both of these have the potential of a group finish and if that is the case, I would have to image he will snag one of them.
 
During my short and non existent racing career if somone told me that being one of the worlds fastest riders gets you this, I would have annihilated

Sagan at Wevelgem and again today at the first day of Three Days of Panne after attacking mutiple times and then winning the sprint. Setting himself up to do well at Flanders.
 
I was just thinking... How much would it suck if Sagan was doping?

He is so dominant this season, and to some extent last year too. I really hope he is clean though. He is so exciting to watch, but that is also what made the 90's and 00's so much fun and we see how that turned out.

It does make you wonder, you figure has he to be on something that they just can't detect. However, the dude has instinct and bike skills that you can't get from drugs, so maybe he is the real deal. Hopefully a mondern day Merckx.

The way he attacked the breakaway when he knew he was the strongest sprinter of the bunch was just insane. He definitely learned from Cancellara the previous race.
 
Anyone following the Giro? I don't have Universal Sports but the online coverage is great and the twitter updates are about all you need. Based on today's stage, it is good to see Hesjedal is not going to lay down and take Sky's crap and we know Nibali is always up for attacking in the mountains. With the amount of TT this year, it is going to be tough to get past Wiggo, but that will make it that more exciting for the mountains.
 
yeah I am watching it. I am able to dvr the coverage, I guess it must be on Universal. I watched the first stage, didn't bother with the ITT yesterday. The first stage had some tight turns that made the race interesting. Cavendish looked crazy strong without much help around.

OK, I will try to avoid posting results soon after they happen.
 
Hesjedal looked crazy-strong today. Attempted to clear out some deadwood. No spoilers, but it made the last 15k a freaking blast. (Unless your name started with Scarp and ended with oni.) Someone misplaced his "just wait for Sky to do everything" memo.
