And with that, Brammeier is no longer the (bigger) idiot.

Did sagan just came in second in Tirreno by 1 sec!?

That guy ..

Poor Sagan

Shoulda shaved his legs

He did. Dr Hutch suggesting hairy legs are faster on Twitter though (not that you'd know given you're blocked).

Maybe

Ha! What did @umop3pisdn do to get blocked by Hutch?

Told him not to throw his toys out of the pram. He responded by doing just that. He's very trigger happy with the block button.

are we about to enter into the incredibly dull GVA era...

What was he having a tantrum about? He usually seems pretty level-headed. Dry even.

I got involved in this. He's a very highly strung individual.

The peloton itself isn't able to agree on weather that was the right decision, so attacking Nibali is bit dumb. And of course he/Astana should think long and hard about targeting a race which could have the stages he's most suited for cancelled.

I see what you did there.

Let's be having your Milano-San Remo predictions.

I'm going with Michael Matthews.

Sagan to repeat his Richmond win.

Gavria to upset the applecart, or Cancellara as he seems to be on very very good form

Interesting was thinking Gaviria as well.

Having said that, GVA is strong, and if the Omloop 'curse' is actually a statistically significant thing, he's a better bet now than he will be in the next few weeks.

Considering all recent races / form etc the most likely result probably is GVA 1st, sagan 2nd...

Viviani is my outside call. Been in good form.

But Fabs is FLYING.

That's what my fantasy team's betting on. But I'd be happy with Kwiat showing form. Or Stybar.

Stybar has been looking mean, think Bo-Hag might be a dark horse too with the form he showed a few weeks ago.

Cancellara for me

Inrng is good on MSR today. The only classic that all the top riders have a chance in.

Ooh, I recognise those tweets..

I would like it to be so but I think Cancellara is pretty strong at the moment.

Kristoff's good for it - where's he been hiding out at recently? I'd love Sagan to win just because I'm so fucking tired of him coming in second.
