'It's loveliness increases (4th victory), it will never pass into nothingness (Cancellara = legend)'

just to expand a little more on Keats/Cancellara

"Where are the rains of Spring? Ay, where are they?" (Keats/forum)

 

[Gloin22]

What? Dayer Quintana is in the race?!

And I thought Tinkoff-Saxo having Jesper Hansen in the roster was crazy...

You don't know that all the new Movistar youngsters that get into the team always ride the cobbled races to fill the spots ?

 

[argyllflyer]

Omega Pharma Quickstop? Eh Carlton?

Oil in the Arenberg sector. Well done

...

 

[goggalor]

Ewww stumbled upon a feed with Phil & Paul commentating. The first thing they talked about was George Hincapie. Gotta quickly go take a shower now before Arenberg. :S

 

[Netserk]

Kristoff involved in the crash Or not? (edit: he wasn't)

Nicki was down.

Kristoff involved in the crash

Oh dear. GVA was caught up behind it too I think. Not a good time for it, a lot of energy can be wasted.

 

[De Snelle Duif]

That wasn't Kristoff I think, Sporza said it was Selig. GVA was held back though

 

[Netserk]

FDJ leading the 2nd group. Almost contact.

 

[Netserk]

Sagan mechanical. Really bad timing.

 

[thrawn]

Sagan mechanical.

 

[Netserk]

The breakaway is at Haveluy. Crosswinds on this section.

 

[happytramp]

Not happy with gears. Looks to be spinning too fast.

 

[Netserk]

Wiggo and Thomas at the front. The peloton is on Haveluy

 

[SafeBet]

Sagan bridged but needs to get to the front soon.

 

[Hugo87]

Sky really pushing the tempo.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Come on you Wiggo

 

[dlwssonic]

Wiggins getting ready to destroy on arenberg

 

[happytramp]

The skytrain™ is not going to work here I'm afraid.

 

[dlwssonic]

Goddamn it why is ebh the leader for sky and not wiggins

 

[burning]

Geraint is working hard right now

 

[T-Nielsen]

Goddamn it why is ebh the leader for sky and not wiggins

Because some of the cobbles are laying pretty high and the winner have to be able to get down from them.

 

[whittashau]

Why isn't Gatto riding for Cannondale riding today?

 

[SafeBet]

Why are they using Thomas so early?

 

[Netserk]

The magic moment
