The Quickstep riders are listed before the Rabobank riders, so Boom wouldn't have gotten the leaders jersey anyway.
3 of 4 Dutchmen on Garmin must have gone down in that crash.

no. It is not a second but indication the others are ranked first like Castroviejo.. another way as saying " same time as"SetonHallPirate said:Interesting that, aside from Castroviejo, they appear to have slapped the rest of the Movistar squad with a second...
Somebody needs to teach both myself and the UCI to read Spanish, apparently.Forunculo said:NO, "m.t. 1º= same time like 1st rider"

But today no red for Cobo
First time I see the "1º" bit in a classification. So redundant and unnecessary. It's always been just "m.t."Forunculo said:NO, "m.t. 1º= same time like 1st rider"
Miburo said:Too bad for Gasparotto, I think he had a chance for WC. Don't know who Italy can play out now? maybe pozatto, and nibali well yeah maybe.

2005. Gent-Wevelgem. Juan Antonio Flecha. Nico Mattan.El Pistolero said:Doesn't really matter who it is. It's a lost opportunity.
Didn't the same happen in the Giro with Phinney? I also remember Philippe Gilbert losing the Grand Prix d'Ouverture La Marseillaise once because they sent him the wrong way when he was leading the race and sure to win.
