Benoot finally gets his first professional victory, after I think over 60 top tens. 

 

Anyway, great race, possibly already the most exciting race of the season?

After almost 5 years (well, 8 if you only count the more 'serious' high-level stuff), 40-year old Tadec Valjavec made a comeback

The ancestor of Louis Meintjes, as in, doing nothing but always hanging in the last wheels to be dragged to a 9th place

15? I'd say the last 50 kilometers were superb. Funny that the stage unfolded exactly like in the last two years, just that this time the Spaniard won by a super small margin

Aaah, it's the usual lovely Milan-Sanremo weather.

Kittel isn't in the peloton and we are at Capoberta yet.. 

[heywoodu 15,253]

Well, that was a disappointing and boring Cipressa.

Come on peloton, wake up, do something. This is supposed to be one of the main monuments in cycling, not a boring race.
