By the way, today we saw a classic RSF-style puller group at Paris-Nice. Eerybody just sitting behind Machado and the one of Columbia until they got to the last mountain.
Was it Martin or Monfort in front? Couldn't really recognize it. Thought it was Monfort. But then Martin fell behind. That confused me a little bit.

Nice end for the locals. I wished Voeckler will do it today, he rode a good tour, but moinard was stronger in the sprint. Good day for the french anyway :)

In general, it was an interesting start in the season of stage races. Very exciting stages with a lot of surprises. I hope this will go on like this...

Today, good frenchies for the stage victory. 15" at the top of Eze, 5" on the finish line, incredible !!!

Too easy for Contador. During the Downhill, leonSanchez and valverde (and taraamae) against contador. But not real attacks by sanchez and valverde to try something, just little accelerations. And not a real big tempo by sanchez to try the stage victory for Valverde.
Caisse d'Ep was strong, but not good in tactic.
Contador is in a good form in March, i hope i did not mistakes for his form ... to the Tour ^^

And this stage was the difficult stage for Sagan, he lose 2'45". A week is maybe his limit for a tour :)

Ok, Liquigas changed their mind and will send sagan to Paris-Roubaix, instead Tour of Turkey. It's big enough for him, I guess :)

Nice, so we'll get an impression of if he's capable of riding pavés... Maybe the same question his teammanagers ask themselves, too :D
