    Anybody following along this week? Crazy finish for Milan San Remo on Saturday. Explosions on Monday. And a question if the peloton was even going to roll out this morning for Dwars door Vlaanderen. Which it did. I love me some Spring Classics.
    I watched MSR over the weekend. Crazy finish and some controversy with the winner. I felt bad for Sagan and Cancellera. They bike 180 miles only to have a guy near them goes down right before the final sprint and he basically affects them just enough that they don't even have a shot.

    Paris Roubaix is my favorite. I'm hoping for strong winds again this year.

      I want mud. It's been too long.
      I told him he was a goddamn Nazi Stormtrooper.

          Amazing bike handling by Sagan and Cancellera to keep from going down.

            I was excited to see Sagan grab a win at Gent-Wevelgem but the story now is that a young rider was killed by a race motorcycle after crashing. Ugh.
            I have nothing else to say at this time.

                After last week's Ronde, Sunday is going to be fantastic. Fabian is killing himself over missing the break and chasing for 30k with nothing to show for it. Sagan is riding incredibly well and has tons of confidence. Three hours of coverage on NBC Sports with Phil and Paul or live through a bunch of international feeds.

                Also, stake conference!

                  Great race this morning. I've never seen a lead group like that roll into the velodrome together.

                    257.5 km and someone manages to be in the right spot.

                      That's quite a shot. Spartacus' bike disappears out from under him and Sagan goes right over the top.

                        I finally got around to watching it. I avoided anything to do with cycling so it didn't get spoiled. The last couple kilometers of this race are always fun as the lead group constantly has someone trying to get away. Boonen and Hayman seemed to have it locked up but they slowed a bit. I seemed they almost wanted to get caught just so they could rest a bit and then win in a sprint. Kind of odd, but it worked since they went 1 and 2.

                          Here's the video. Sagan is amazing.
