The early season day races thread 2013 *SPOILERS*

GP Camaiore and Peter Sagan shows his class just before the Strade Bianche by beating all the Italians (Ulissi and Nocentini 2nd and 3rd).

It looks like a showdown twixt Sagan and Cancellara for Strade Bianchi. I like that race a lot. On the topic of the Giro stage in 2010 I like this....

I see that Scarpone is back riding for Lampre. Pelizotti, Sella, Vicioso too
On a happier note, Andy Schleck actually finished his first race for a year, albeit 5 minutes down with the tail end.

I would like to see Flecha do something today (in the positive rather than the negative sense). It'll be interesting to see how he performs in the classics outside the confines of Sky...

At Sky he did pretty much the same as he had done before. He's an experienced contender and I like him but he's not a big winner.

Fair, i think. Always want him to do well, but never quite seems to crack a big one.

Flecha probably has his best chance at PR, but I tend to think his ship has sailed.

Strade Bianchi :
Saramotins (IAM), Belkov (KAT), Ermeti (AND) & Schar (BMC) 4 mins ahead of peloton with 50km to go

Flecha attacking - didn't realise it was him how went off the front of the peloton a few kms back

Cancellara seems content to sit on Sagan's wheel for now

 

[raindog]

He's got three and a half minutes - I'd quite like to see him get this - still 40ks to go though

3 1/2 from the front, maybe 30 sec to the peloton

 

[raindog]

Yes, just realised, there's still that group of 4 up front - my bad.
Don't understand Flemish

Cancellara seems to be putting all his eggs in the "watch Sagan" basket.

I guess I'm learning Italian for cycling by the immersion method myself. Rai 2 feed.
Front of peloton has
4 x Cannondale
4 x Astana
1 x Cancellara
Cadel & Valverde still in there too
