I don't know if I'd say it was boring. It's fun watching sprinters and GT riders closely matched at the end of a big race. Just that they were a bit too closely matched

Unfortunately they'll use this edition to justify making the route much harder next year so that the sprinters might as well stay at home

I haven't followed the buildup that closely, so apologies for the following question, why was Le Manie not raced this year?

As always MSR shows waaaay more action than Fleche Wallon has ever done.
I am mostly bored with this new generation of cycling fans, I'm afraid.
Please go watch NHL or NBA; or whatever sport people watch who need some crazy action every 10 seconds. Or at least stop complaining here after a good afternoon of racing.

Sagan just showed he doesn't have it in the biggest races, not yet.

Kristoff could be a surprise in Flanders and Roubaix to, why not a podium place?

I liked this MSR, i think a lot of people are disappointed about the race attitude of guys like Cancellara and Sagan. I think it has more to do with the bad weather and the distance.

FW is just a race for the explosive guys. You can't expect more from that race.

Kristoff has everything to be this generation Freire, though to beat in a sprint after a long and though race.


Epic Colbrelli, still able to get a top 10 even after the attack:D

That's a stretch. It won't be teammates and helpers attacking on the climbs in Flanders or the stones in Roubaix. It'll be Boonen, Sagan, and Fabs.

Cancellara nor Sagan attacking what a crap, didn't they learn their lesson last year???

Can't attack if you don't have the legs. Sagan at least clearly had nothing left and Cancellara almost gambled correctly, so you can't blame him for not attacking.

Very entertaining race in tough conditions. Some here, i will never get, what do they expect? Someone soloing 200+ km to San Remo and winning with 10 min to 2nd?

I know, I like FW; as I like MSR or all of the other classics.
 
If we're playing the game of making ridiculous sweeping generalizations to mock people who disagree with us, I'll just say damn all these clueless new fans with no ability for critical thought who will gladly swallow any crap they're fed and they will like it. Every race is AWESOME and EPIC.
