I am so confused as to why they are letting Stybar sit on ??? Absolutely bizzare tactics. GVA probs doesnt care because he's so damn strong but Langeveld is getting screwed badly. He even has Van barle behind.

DFA lost all his relevance today... sour

Where's your boy degenkolb?

 

[Ikbengodniet]

GVA is by far the strongest this spring, he deserves this.

Re: Re:

Kind of hoping Stybar takes this.

If that was kwiat youd cry why he is wheelsucking :lol:

Yes, but GVA is Gilbert's rival and I don't want GVA to have a better palmares than him. Petty I know. :lol:

I won't be upset if GVA does win this though, he deserves this.

Does Langeveld opt for a sure 3rd or 20th? Cannondale need a result.

Of course he should ride.

Wave stybar through or at least try? They've completely ignored and not even asked him.

Boonen 1:07 back. It's over

Well... GVA bit the dust, Styby is a "foreigner"...

 

[Orbit501]

Stybar getting an easy ride here

Langeveld wants to podium, he probably doesn't believe in his chances (he should though).

 

[Billie]

Langeveld is easy to buy also

Address the post not poster please - don't be childish just because you're favourites aren't winning.

Degenkolb is a minute back I think; must have messed up tactically or just didn't have the legs. Bit of a fail by Trek considering the position they were in.

 

[Velolover2]

Doesn't it make as much sense that GVA and Langeveld just sit up now?

It's between those three anyway.

 

[spalco]

I think it's hilarious that Stybar has literally not taken a single turn as far as I could see.

Re: Re:

How the hell is Naesen still there?! Interesting to contrast his and GVA's endurance with that of Sagan. All had serious problems in this race, but those two just have the better engines.

Do you ever get tired of this stuff?

Just felt like highlighting how well those two have done. I'm sure there will be a lot of wailing about how bad luck cost Sagan the win. But those two had as bad luck (worse for Naesen) and are still in contention - having been taken out by Sagan in a good position also last week. So I think they deserve the headlines here really - incredible endurance effort from both of them.

Stop this bs. Nobody cares in Peloton when Naesen has flat, but peloton goes mad when Sagan GVA Boonen has any problem. That is the difference.

 

[Akuryo]

Stybar, not Stuyven

 

[The Principal Sheep]

GVA not happy with Stybar for doing what GVA has done with Sagan?_?

Naesen is stronger than Sagan, that's the difference.

At this point Langeveld should just stop working, the gap is big enough.

 

[luckyboy]

Don't know why Stybar would ever work with Van Avermaet's sprint. It's not like they can force him

Re:

Makes no sense that Stybar isn't taking a single pull when he can win the race. It's between the three of them.

 

[jaylew]

Seriously, Stybar. Wtf?

Re:

Kelly can call him what he likes, he's still being gifted the win at this rate.
