... Read a good piece about Campanaerts and how they’re ready to f*ck sh*t up this classics season.

In other news, Lefevre gave himself a new nickname.

“I am Patrick without fear. We are ‘the Wolfpack’ – the rest should be afraid of us,” Lefevere told Het Nieuwsblad earlier this month.

Now that's something you won't hear them yelling down at Buffalo Wild Wings.

Always pulling for Peto who I bet shows up ready to roll. With this team and some luck maybe one more PR is possible. He's got some hole punchers; Turbo Turgis, Boa Hag, Dan Ossification. Maybe even Nikki T. They'll be ready to ride for him, no?

Team Quick Step (Your Name Here) will still do what they do. van Wildman (6th in Provence) an Ardennes type? A young Phil Gil? Can he Strade the Bianche? Otherwise QS still loaded for sure though a healthy Kick Asgreen would seal the deal.

Sheff Magnus is on the start lists for Omloop, KBK, and PR. That is some banging for a 19 year old.

He looks ready to go. Giro should be a good race.

Pog looks ready to uncork one. One of ‘21’s lasting memories is him detonating Lombardia from way out, more or less pulling for 30k and and then waxing No Masnada. About as impressive a ride as there is. If he has more of that…

So I should know this, but I guess I'm not certain. For all of you USA guys who followed Powless progress, does he have potential to ride GC for a Grand Tour? He certainly has been amazing in attacking roles and some one day races. He's got the TT, but is a 3 week GC attempt a bridge too far? I guess I don't know where EF intends to take him.

Any idea on when he actually is coming back? I didn't see if it indicated if it was just opening weekend or if it were more than that.

Vlasov is looking like a week-long stage race killer. Good pickup for Bora.

Yeah, Vlasov looks good. He couldn't come around Yates but was right on the wheel. And covered a lot of moves on the way.

I am having a really hard time getting used to all the new jerseys this year. Watching the lead group today, I kept thinking "Who's that Bora dude?", followed by "Where the hell is Vlasov, I don't see any Astana jerseys?" Does anybody make a set of flash cards (dating myself severely there).

Women's cycling is the real nightmare with jersey spotting.
