From the Sun to the Seas
Tirreno-Adriatico
| Best of the best? |
Nitro Katana proved to be the strongest in Italy as our much anticipated battle between the "fantastic four" fizzled out before it really got going. The snowy mountain top finish made for good watching, but when it came down to it Nairo was the best of those who were trying. Best of the best? Perhaps, but we'll need to see a little more. Is Bauke Bartokomis the early season revelation?
Paris-Nice
 |
| Best of the rest? Nice $700 cap, goofball |
Skynet dialed up the power train launching Richie Porte to victory on the decisive stage in Paris-Nice. We got some pretty fun action on the penultimate stage run into Nice with rain, breakaways, crashes and of course disappointing Americans. In the end, Porte and Thomas put in an impressive effort to keep their positions only topped by Porte's impressive victory in the final mountain TT. Best of the rest? Perhaps, but some other stage racers would be well served to take note. Choose your program carefully and win while you can. Porte will have an impressive race victory under his belt before he implodes at the Giro, while Talansky and TVG will have saved their efforts for another top 20 moral victory at the Tour.
