Cycling Puts Sky the block on and it will roll the red carpet out for Kwiatkowski? Or stirs Bernal is still in the spirited final weekend of Paris-Nice? “Two roosters in a henhouse: can still be fun,” reflects Sean Kelly, record holder with seven (consecutive) victories, there is envy. How did you do Paris-Nice so far experienced, Sean?

“I have great enjoyed it. The first day was the real price. Wind, fans, show, favourites lose time… Great! Now it is looking forward to a fun and exciting final weekend.”

Who will win this edition?

“The two complicated trips. I expect a barrage of attacks. Saturday is the superlastig and on the final stage into Nice is not a level to pull. There is still quite a lot. Though it will maybe be easy, now that spring weather is predicted. Sánchez is on the alert. Also guys from the second line à la Kelderman, Jungels, Quintana and Bardet will take every opportunity to their battle to save it. Yet I see no one capable of the two Sky boys to trouble you. They have the best team. In normal circumstances, they will be one and two.”
