Not too late to blossom. Tyler Farrar is 25, but apparently wasted some his potential but at least had the sense to straighten himself out instead of giving in to party scene.

A lot of the improved results this year comes not so much from better riding but rather more teamsupport, protcted rider status etc.

Props to Cadel, as world champ who lives in the region and really wants to win Lombardia
he still sacrificed himself for his teammate today, suddenly Silence is good at this teammate thingy.

I think Cadel has finally found his man
and yes, props to him and Gilbert. Great display of team racing ;)

yes, and such a relief!
and as Phil H. said, great to see Cadel in the support role – good use of the two riders strengths in those last kms.

Yep. Did you catch Cadel and Gilbert after the race...
…genuine gratitude from Gilbert, and genuine happiness from Cadel. That looked very very healthy as a teammate relationship.

they have apparently
had a good relationship from the start – it’s just nice to see them really making it happen on the road.

That's a photo I hope we see ;)
Great complementary strengths and obviously rapport. Fantastic ;)

There was some sniping at each other after one of the spring races.
Gilbert frustrated by lack of communication from Evans, if I’m remembering correctly. So it’s especially nice to see them working nicely together now.

Different races, but both Silence Lotto. Who'd a thought?

Gilbert once said there were only two Monuments he couldn't win
Paris – Roubaix and Giro di Lombardia.

Giro di Lombardia & GranPiemonte

RCS really not going all out with the trophies this year
