Roelandt's now with 90 seconds to the second group.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Wow, I'm speechless. How can EQS screw up this badly race after race?

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

I thought Roelandts was crazy to go so early but it is all falling into place for him. He just has to keep it up for another 50kms.

 

[glassmoon]

seemed like they were waiting for him?

 

[Pricey_sky]

Thomas is back, what a trooper!!

 

[goggalor]

Re:

Thomas also showing now that neither group is going hard. Already back on

Roelandts is riding away though.

But still a loooong ride to the finish for him.

I was thinking that as well.

Etix does it again. Vandenbergh attacks when Stybar gets a flat; Thomas and Oss go with him and this could likely be the decisive move. WTF?? A tactical move or another ambitious move? Stybar was definitely one of the favorites and Vandenbergh was not.

great acrobatics from Thomas

@vamosalberto @mewmewmew13 that's one hell of a high kick. Does he dance as well. #dancingwiththestars

 

[More Strides than Rides]

So, what is the route direction/wind direction for the next 50k?

Roelandts is looking good, of course, but that could change so fast on a day like this. A normal ride's worth of food will not be enough to get to the finish; a TT mentality of pacing out 50k will be a 10+ minute difference in work time. Any little frustration can overwhelm a rider's mentality (Just look at Jack Bauers execution, and reaction to the jacket hand off)

 

[SafeBet]

Are we sure the GPS is working fine?

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Terpstra just bridged over.

 

[glassmoon]

Terpstra wtf?
