Ziklo Krosa: Igorre World Cup

Mourey looked to have it in the bag. Until his derailleur blew up with a couple laps to go. Then Wellens looked like the winner on the day. But his derailleur blew up too, giving Nys the win and the funny hat. Are you kidding me? Something stinks here. More from CN.

Highlights:



Smaller numbers in the FGBC pool. 220 wins it this time around. I'll take it. Especially with an uncharacteristically poor showing for the professor (no Albert, no Boom, Stybar fading?). But with the Superprestige series coming next week--and more importantly Albert racing in it--he'll no doubt close the gap again.
