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

[Tom T.]

Wow, I can't believe the lack of racing. I think they're playing into Cance and Sagan's hands.

So Bozic is still there then, with his leg warmers off. Must mean business!

 

[ChewbaccaD]

Most pathetic Ronde ever

Well, to me it's better than watching that Swiss dude solo away for 30K.

Well, peloton just entered last 30k, waiting a move from that guy

So is Iglinsky.

 

[Angliru]

Yea, but the name I used has the same derived from the same source as Piti. No way around it.

The only points being made when using these clinic related "nicknames" is to show disrespect for the rider and for the poster to appear witty. It doesn't contribute anything to the discussion. Plus a poster that is accustomed to speaking in one way in the clinic, if in fact that is where the large majority of their posts are, apparently has trouble making the transition from Clinic to PRR or just maybe refuses to conform to the rules.

Yea, but at least he'll have to catch and pass a few guys on the way...

 

[Afrank]

I should have slept in. Time to bring back the old route back.

 

[ILovecycling]

Everyone is waiting for Sagan and Cancellara move...if they think they can handle their acceleration they are big morons

 

[roosters76]

Most boring Ronde so far I've ever seen

I'm seconding that.

Thanks captain obvious.

 

[Konfronto]

Seems like 4 or 5 riders from Astana are there in action. Max stays as well.

Yes, a no win situation: Somebody rides away at 30-40 km it is proclaimed "boring", and when it doesn't happen it is "most boring ever"

 

[Descender]

Watch out for Degenkolb.

 

[boardhanger]

100th anniversary cycling as a sport in gloom this sums it up...?

 

[luckyboy]

Well they'll make the catch on Hoogberg and then its all up to Cancellara to attack on the final two eh

Someone riding away for 30-40 km would be a lot more exciting than this.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

G. Thomas has returned (says enough about peloton speed).

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Astana FTW!!!

 

[serfla]

Actually, this is very good stuff.
We're for hours in expectation... Unique feeling.

 

[l.Harm]

Oh oh oh Boooo-ring

Yea, I'm okay with it because the race isn't yet over. Fireworks will happen whereas the other scenario is horrifically boring.

Yep, like the Giro

No, no it isn't.

It was exciting when he attacked, just the bit afterwards where nothing happened til the finish was boring.
Now nothing is happening at all.
