It is, of course, only a matter of time before FF doesn't pick him and someone else does and gets the inevitable result...
You all can mock and poke fun, but one day I will (OK, might) have my glory. Because even if someone else picks him and he wins, I will take a certain quiet satisfaction from it. Anyway, I don't win enough points for it to even make a difference. I bet Slapshot got more points in Paris Nice than I will get all season … unless EBH comes through.
On the other hand I could have a wonderful two or three year period of backing a "not quite there" rider, which will build my character. Although Sagan is riding too, and he, well he is almost certain to overshadow EBH now, although if EBH can climb … I might change to Taylor Phinney later this year anyway. I want to support riders who give interviews in English or French.

You have seen Taylor's tweets? Not sure they quite qualify as English...
Fontfroide
Gerry,
You mean I picked another guy who says nothing. I thought Taylor was a bit brighter and a little more interesting in his thought. I give up. I am going back to Fabian or Daveed or Cav. My FPs chosen by whether they have a touch of the literary about them. Sadly, they all speak a bit like cyclists, to one extent or other. Which we might expect.
Anyway, Kathy, I won't abuse this thread any more, just the FP allows you to chatter. I will be good.
Ummm, Gerrans seems to be free. No other reason for pick.
levi
Gilbert he 's got to come into form soon.

actually. today probably is my favourite. i like the beer race much more than most people, tro bro leon is great, and then there's added bonus appennino highlights for tea.
Guiness
Sagan. Simply 'cause his due a win in a race like this. Only a matter of time before he makes the big time.
