2013 97th Ronde van Vlaanderen, 257km, Sunday 31th March

[sagard]

I'm hoping for Cance and Sagan to make a decisive move. I'm really hoping they don't mark each other too close and forget to chase a break.

 

[Lexman]

Cancellara, Sagan, Chavanel & Boonen top 4

 

[Flamin]

OPQS is the strongest team. But how can they use that? If at the end Sagan attacks and only Cancellara and Chavanel are able to follow, a strong team is useless...

1.Cancellara
2.Sagan
3.Thomas IMO

Mostly this.

Would be nice to have a bit of adverse weather again, to separate the men from those who don't fancy it in the rain and cold.

 

[Netserk]

1st: Boonen
2nd: Terpstra
3rd: Chavanel

...

4th: Bunch

How late will Sporza start broadcasting? 4 in the morning?

A little later, from 9 to 10.15 start and first hour and then from 12.00 the normal broadcasting. And don't forget the preview/cyclo sportive Saturday 17.00-18.00.

You mean Turgot I hope...

 

[jens_attacks]

You mean Turgot I hope...

did you watch yesterday's stage from de panne? gaudin is flying. and he's in such a good form that he abandoned,both him and vincent jerome. that's an even more obvious sign they are in great form

he's very heavy so he has little chances in ronde compared to roubaix but with such an engine he can go in the attack from 50 km to go and then await the favourites and hang on with them(that was also his tactic for yesterday). to me he seemed to pass the bergs easily despite his weight

yes,i'd give him one star too for ronde
but voeckler will be their man

 

[sankaa]

I know theres like zero chance for it to happen, but I would love it if EBH took this home. We all know he have had some problems with the longer races, but maybe he could do some magic this time.

If not, I hope Cancellara shows Sagan what it is to be a man.

His WC RR 2012 says otherwise

No it doesn't.

You're welcome.

Chavanel 4*? Really?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

3*) Boonen, Voeckler, Van Aevermaet, Geraint Thomas
2*) Daniel Oss, Langeveld, Stannard, Flecha, Haussler

id put Langeveld higher than Voeckler/Van Avermaet considering E3 prijs

Anyone have any news on Roelandts following his accident in Gent-Wevelgem?
