Nah, I think he's mentally and physically tough as and hungry. I think he's going to be a superstar.

+1 Oli
Dudes a superstar already. Not many sportsman/women can have self confidence to the point of arrogance and back it up with unbelievable performances.
Shit the way he won San Remo on his first go is impressive enough. He also has been climbing better and better. Still not great but he can Autobus it.

Gutsiest MSR since Kelly smoked the descent of the Poggio and pwnt Argentin. :thumbsup:

AND, he climbed better than Boonen that day.

Agree with you there Oli '86-87?

Cancellara's effort last year was pretty special too. The only person in the world at the moment who can smash it for a Km and a half like he did. Vanderarden had it too. :love:

1992!

Cancerella's finale was pretty cool too... :thumbsup:

Mr Tugboat sir, can I please swap my white jersey pick to Roman Kreuziger? I didn't realise (and was too lazy to check) that he was still eligible...Sorry to be a pain! :paranoid:

Okay, I have a dvd recorder at the ready this year and doing this might help me follow it a bit better than I usually do...

Thought i would chuck him in there as he will be tired from being Farrar's leadout man and will struggle as a sprint leadout man does over the Mountains.

Maybe so but he will be paying a gazillion to one of actually being the Lantern Rouge
