Re:

Devolder has all the bike handling skills of a baby giraffe

Devolder ok, but Boom is a CX guy. Why does he keep crashing all the time?

 

[TheQuick]

This race is already done now congrats to M.Kwiatkowski

Re:

*** LARS BOOM HAD WON THAT RACE IF HE JUST HAD RELAXED ON THAT DOWNHILL SECTION

Big difference between racing cross in the rain vs. racing road in the rain.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

It's simply rediculous how talented Benoot is. Amazing.

Wasn't he the one wishing for a rainy Paris-Roubaix last summer?

“Winning a Tour de France stage is like a dream come true,” said a clearly emotional Boom. “It’s extra special to win in rainy conditions and on the cobblestones of Paris-Roubaix. I’ve been dreaming of a wet Paris-Roubaix for years and now this happens at the Tour. Simply fantastic.”

Agreed. Best neo-pro on cobbles?

This. And considering the fact that he only just turned 21, he has a fantastic future.

Van Baarle is not mentioned a lot. Won Tour of Britain in his first season, still just 22

 

[TheQuick]

What about Magnus Cort and Caleb Ewan ?

 

[phil-i-am]

Wow, Benoot is doing such a good job ! 40 s now

 

[SafeBet]

Who are the Etixx in the chasing group?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Katusha...

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Gap is coming down rather quick now. Headwind I assume?

 

[luckyboy]

Re:

Van Keirsbulck and Maes

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Go topsport!!!!!!!!

edit. Kwia should focus on the cobbles series this year.

 

[sir fly]

The front group is pulling strong, although it looks like the chasers are giving more.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Benoot is definitely the rider of the day!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Re:

Yeah. Had he not been in the chasing group, they would have been 2 minutes behind by now.

Only because of a breakaway the peloton didn't realise contained someone who might take the race lead, followed by a terrible TT by Kwiatkowski's standards.

 

[Akuryo]

Kuznetsov on his own for the last 10k.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Lol, he didn't even mean to attack.

Why is that? There are at least three guys ahead of him in the peckinh Order for the cobbles currently. In the Ardennes he will be leader.

I could definately see him contend for the win in De Ronde in a couple of years.
