Amazing! Amazing from Dan. What a great rider. Also an added bonus to see Valverde defeated again.

yep, more amazing because he could've risked to be beaten by Valverde,
that would've sucked!

I'm really disappointed with German Eurosport too. They are fairly neutral, but zero excitement.

eta: and one second after the finish line they switch to ****ing handball.

Valverde is an overrated ****

It seemed like he did his usual waiting for the other guy to close the gap thing

so, yeah. **** him. plenty of talent, but adds nothing to the races.

he is a ****ign loser, his team worked all day for him and in the end he just wheelsucks for 3rd place, genius

Watch out guys! The swearing police might come get you!

Reports that Valverde had a mechanical problem at the end and could not shift.

#2 is clearly Milan San Remo, not sure about the third.

1.PR
2 MSR
3 Strade Bianche

This is the end of electronic gear shifters

I wonder if Gilbert will keep improving from Ardennes on like he did in 2012, and hit top shape at the Tour instead of the Vuelta.

rofl we all know why he hit top shape in that moment

 

[iZnoGouD]

Yeah, or not. Six seconds ahead of the mighty Andy Schleck though

oh, that was the only failed prediction by me and that's the one you quote, n1

Why the ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** would they do that?

Everything can be explained by the clinic.

 

[jaylew]

So, no Belgian wins in the classics this year?

Correct, would have to go back many, many years for a similar poor result.

not that long, 2007 Hoste's 2nd place in the Ronde was the best result for a belgian in the classics

ah right, thanks.

 

[Roderick]

It depends on what you call a classic ofcourse

 

[jaylew]

But Boonen won KBK and E3 in 2007. This year has been much worse.

 

[jens_attacks]

ah right, thanks.

boonen won e3 that year
i think this is the worst since many decades ago

 

[jflemaire]

boonen won e3 that year
i think this is the worst since many decades ago

According to Beenkens on RTBF, since 1918

Nah, wasn't expecting Phil to win. Let's just say I'm glad with the exact order of the podium.

 

[Netserk]

No surprise Valverde pwned Gilbert today. Goes to show how lucky Gilbert was in '11.

Lucky that Valverde steals wins? How does that work?

 

[Netserk]

Steals wins???

 

[El Pistolero]

You're really not aware of the Kelme program?

 

[Netserk]

Again. Steals wins????

He is a true gentleman on the bike. Didn't you see how he waited for Szmyd on Ventoux?
