Tirreno Adriatico Stage 1 (stage 2 really. The TTT wasn't a prologue)

simon F, March 7, 2013

Kevin Hulsmans (Fantini-SelleItalia), Cesare Benedetti (NetAPP-Endura) and Garikoitz Bravo (Euskaltel Euskadi) are 8'30" ahead of the peloton with 100 or so km to go.

Glad I didn't use a transfer on Greipel.

Goss has clearly sold his soul to the devil, there's no other way he's winning a sprint at the minute.

Either that or someone went down and slowed everyone else...

I just can't believe Goss actually won that. Any idea where Farrar and Degenkolb finished?

Well, the race trophy is a trident...

I guess Nizzolo finished 11th.

Wow - what a day for Orica! 3,5,7 for me so far. Goss was my secret weapon for San Remo, but it looks like he might be a more popular pick now...
