Paris-Brussels: Good Goss!

PrintMatt Goss, all of 22, wins today's oldest pro race, the somewhat predictable, flat Paris-Brussels. The Aussie survived a bunch gallop edging Allan Davis. Sporza video here showing the last KM. Riis may have a nice sprinting team with Goss and Breschel, if he can keep the former from his rumored exit. OK, Goss to Columbia-HTC is considered a done deal, making Mark Cavendish cycling's youngest mentor. I can picture it now:
"Here's how you do it Matty. Just get in position with 5km to go, stay on Albasini's wheel (or Renshaw's or Eisel's or whatever) to about 300 meters, then launch the world's fastest acceleration and you should be good to go."

It must be Aussie day
Chris Sutton won the opening stage of the Tour of Britain—yes, another Garmin win. The Argyle Unicorn has finally figured out how to climb up to the highest podium step.

I was there
as was Helsy… she can do the writing up though, since she has photos to pad it out with! Off to Darlo tomorrow, all being well, so maybe I’ll do something then. :-p Hottest day of the year here today, weirdly.
This is why I love "smaller" one-day races.
That’s not a flurry of attacks in the last 10k, that’s a friggin blizzard. Also gotta love the Cofidis boys trying to lead out a sprint. Good on Goss.
