Already sick of hearing about MVDP.
"Ooooooh Matthieu, you're so good at bikes. Please fuck my wife wearing a rainbow stripes condom. Make her scream your achievements across multiple disciplines." < literally everyone

GVA's downfall has been missing all the key moves and having a pretty average team. He's always appeared to be on his own pulling the peloton to catch the lead group. His form looked good just not his tactics/timing.

I think the sport of cycling needs more stars, and one who doesn’t fit the existing mould is especially interesting.
He’s a breath of fresh air in the sense that he is very selective in the races he rides, he’s currently competing at the top level in three distinct disciplines and he’s active for most of the calendar year.
No-one knows yet what his long term career will look like, I think there is a high expectation that he’ll focus on road racing but, so far, he’s not indicated that’s his personal goal. If he chooses to drop CX or MTB will that impact on the type of rider he is today? Would riding GTs reduce his explosiveness?
We don’t know, so I think we should just enjoy him for what he is, a super talent who dabbles in road racing.

Only joking. Matthew of the Pool is a prodigious talent and we're lucky to share a planet with him.

For some reason, Cyclingnews doesn't have the results of Stage 3 of the Tour of the Alps from yesterday yet, so here's the race's own write-up:

Complete with picture of Tao and Froome leading Sivakov, who retained the overall. I imagine today's stage will soon be over, too.

I wonder if they're going to glue themselves to any bikes:

On Twitter he seemed to be blaming illness and the subsequent recovery well into March.
A lot of the talk is fairly standard sports journalism: a mix of stating the fucking obvious (he's not won as many races as he usually does) and mindless speculation ("Is this the end of the Sagan era? Only time will tell" type stuff) Yeah thanks for that gem, Nostradamus.
