| Me too. Goling well. Although, the field in GW might be a bit stronger than in Cologne on Easter Monday. |

Surprised you aren't still rooting for Hincapie as your favourite for the spring classics, i mean, Hincapie the god of spring/cycling should be able to ride round and whip all these no-hopers into defeat even with a broken body..........

i am surprised he's not riding but hey, if he ain't on the startlist I can't put him there can I? Probably coming back for the Tour of Georgia before he starts to kick 4rse in the early summer stage races.
Want to take a bet he's going to win the World's in Germany this year?

Jimmy Casper (as per the Duffmeister) just took a sickening fall coming down of the Kammelberg. Face planted the cobbles, not nice!

If I can be cynical for a moment...
I have just been looking at the teams that were tested this morning..
Team Wiesenhof, Skill-Shimano, DFL Cyclingnews, Crédit Agricole, Gerolsteiner
Don't you think it would of been better to test the stronger teams with the favourites in? |
