And it took the honours, albeit Matt Goss rather than Cav.

Superb ride by Goss. He weathered the late on attacks knowing that if he could keep on their wheels it was his for the taking being the most powerful sprinter in that bunch. Great end to a race split by a defining crash which split the main body (and contenders) of the peloton.

The Antipodeans are having a great start to the early season.

A few weeks after the event but ITV4 have highlights of Paris-Nice on Saturday at 10AM.

Doh!!! If I'm going to say I fancy Boonen for a classic this year I really should have put money on him instead of Gilbert on Sunday!

Really thought for a while that Ian Stannard had it but he should have gone a bit sooner. Having said that it was a great effort and with Quick Step pulling on the front. Ah well - nearly.

Just watching GW now though I already know the result.

Is anyone on here doing the fantasy riders game on road c.c website?

Re: Cycling : Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:28 pm  

No - might have a look though

There's only been 3 races gone out of some 50 I think.

Not been to this thread for a while, and missed the cycling for the last week due to work. Gonna get back into watching the next couple of weeks though!

Also on the lookout for my new bike, of the mountain variety, after my old one was nicked from the "secure garage" at work, would love a road bike at some point but I love off roading and trails too much! Looking at spending between £400-600, spotted a couple of specialized I like in my budget and a few Kona's, all with hydro brakes and a decent frame/fork combo (good for add ons later) there is one "orange" in my price range but its there cheapest model, so tempted though!!!

(sorry if you all out roadies get offended by my MTB talk!!)

I'm not the person to ask about mountain bikes I'm afraid although I always thought that Gary Fisher were a reasonably priced bike.

As a Halifax lad I'd have to recommend Orange seeing as they're manufactured in the town.
