'Dale Posted January 25, 2016 Share What's happening with Marcel Kittel...is the dude strong again?It's been a PR puzzle as to what happened with him last season - from a virus to depression to laziness / poor discipline Training hard with Ettixx - all to be revealed Gen and EmptyB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mntboy Posted January 26, 2016 Share And more than that. For me this is going to be an especially important Classics season because it will be the last time we get to watch the two giants of the sport (Tommeke and Spartacus) side by side. Bitter-sweet times ahead. Lots of excitement and anticipation right now, but a lingering sadness in the background because it's the end of an era. Yes we've got so many exciting youngsters coming up, and lots of riders who are capable of winning these Classics right now - brilliant. But 2016 is going to be only about Spartacus and Tommeke for me. If either one of them have more bad luck and crash out for some reason before we can see them in full flight one last time in Flanders or PR, I will be inconsolable.If I am not mistaken both of those storied racers are on four PR wins and both would love to beat the other to do so. Hoping for Spartacus to out race Tommeke into second! TALUS and tombeej 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bob Posted January 26, 2016 Share Any Dimension Data riders with a chance?Renshaw?BoassonHagen?Cav for Milan San Remo / Kuurne - Brussels - Kuurne / Scheldeprijs EBH: Paris Roubaix / Ronde / E3 / Oomloop / Gent. Other dark horses could be Farrar, Cummings, Haas, Mayer, Pauwls. Not sure who you'd put up as the Ardennes team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bob Posted January 27, 2016 Share Predictions are always dodgy when the season hasn't kicked in and predictions in the classics are even less certain but I'll throw my hat in the ring and go for: Omloop: BoonanK-B-K: CavendishScheldeprijs: KittelMilan San Remo: SaganRonde: VanMarckeParis Roubaix: StybarAmstel Gold: KwiatkowskiL-B-L: Alaphilippe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read he hasn't even really been able to start proper training yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
