Eyeballs Out said: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
Buffalo Soldier said: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.

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

Lexman said:Cancellara nor Sagan attacking what a crap, didn't they learn their lesson last year???
Netserk said:Roubaix last year?
Dutchsmurf said: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.
I know, I like FW; as I like MSR or all of the other classics.Arredondo said: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.
