Men 5 minutes faster than last year. Women slower, but there was a lot of feeling it out, and nobody wanting to risk going off the front, as there was a STRONG wind. Great races both, surprised with Kate Courtney getting distanced at the end. Also surprised that Kegan bridged to Matt, with...

One note that I would have hoped they would have gotten right before now, considering what happened at Mid South, the drivers are not getting out of the way. In the men's race, the Bronco almost caused a wreck, and the side by side just motorpaced the women up the hill.

I realize there isn't a lot of interest here, but first race today at Sea Otter, and it's live on Youtube. It's pretty good, because they have the helicopter. I'm excited to see that Tyler Phinney and Michael Woods on the start list today, as well as being super stoked to see Kate Coutney on the...

Let's never forget the king of nicknames: Belgian Pozzato...But we gotta change that now...

Of course, being a Wout fan, it's easy for me to say, but I believe this is the most popular win I have ever watched. Even some of the detractors here, were glad he won. What a beautiful video!

I mean, lets just shut the entrance to and exit of Aremberg, when the riders go through, and release a ravenous pack of wolves, and see who is actually the strongest.

I voted for him just because I was being hopeful.

I just watched the last 2 and a half hours, again. Unsung hero was Matthew Brennan. He delivered Wout to the front at Arenberg, which gave him the ability to pick his path through. Mathieu was on his wheel, having little to no time to react to the cobbles, and that made all the difference in...

What a beautiful post!

I'ma pack this post into my electrolyte bottle. It's plenty salty.

The fact that he was the first rider there to congratulate Wout, made me a bit of a fan now. That showed a lot of class, as the tension between them has sometimes made me feel like Mathieu was dismissive of Wout. He was extremely gracious, and showed that he is a great competitor. Chapeau Mathieu!

Great observation. All of them, but particularly that one.

Yeah, I was bummed for Vos, but she had to go around the long way. Koch had the shorter distance to the line.

And tomorrow, will start my yearly sadness of having to wait 364 days until we get to watch another.

There isn't a problem though. This is just how internet forums go, particularly with sport. It isn't any different in soccer, basketball, skiing, triathlon , or sewing forums. People have favorites, and other's have competing favorites, who compete with their favorite. I don't actually dislike...
