That race was the shiznit. Bravo Luca.

 

[glassmoon]

Yeah, Luca schooled them youngsters
Brilliant race.

- now I'm waiting for that T-S press conference

Great win from Paolini, really good race. Super performance from Thomas too he's got a great chance next Sunday.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

This will probably be the best race of the year, it's certainly the best race of the year so far. Paolini is a great winner for this

Thomas very strong though! One of the major favourites for RVV, if not the major favourite. RVV will have good weather though, according to the forecasts, so it will be a completely different race.

Also, Roelandts might have been the strongest rider today, but a solo of 70km was just a little bit too much......

 

[DBotero]

Amazing race!

 

[winkybiker]

I can't forgive that beard.

 

[SKSemtex]

congrats to Paolini. What a race. Well deserved win .

 

[Jelantik]

again..ettix got outwitted by one rider. Unbelievable! Looks like number games aren't really the recipe of winning. What a great win by Paolini.

 

[nightfend]

....and Roalandt solos his way in.

 

[LaFlorecita]

OMG. What a RIDE

 

[DirtyWorks]

Roelants barely 2 minutes down. Wow. Talk about beast mode.

 

[doperhopper]

Chapeau! Luca finally got a free hand and did not have to tow Kristoff... and kaboom! Geraint should have tried to escape Debuschere much earlier.

 

[indianfanboy]

Paolini and 53*11 what a sight !!

 

[the asian]

Great race ! and a wonderful win for Paolini..

15th career win for him at the grand old age of 38

Big fail to Quick Step. Terpstra should have attacked.

They were outwitted at 80k to go. They got out-muscled by Paolini.

Even Geraint Thomas can be cooked, afterall.

What a ride by Paolini, so happy for him.

Re:

Never seen Vanmarcke so cooked in a race.

You missed Strade Bianche then.

 

[TMP402]

Paolini deserved a big win. Apparently he has helped wins in all five monuments. Possibly his last season.

Don't be jealous.

That was a fantastic afternoon of racing. Really enjoyed it. Roll on next weekend more of this fun. Best time of year to be a cycling fan.

Considering he was the only one to ride in the top group at E3 from these 7, that was amazing.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Definitely my favorite race of the year so far. Cagey win by Paolini, well deserved.

 

[UselessToo]

Best race of the year sofar and great & stylish win for Mr.Beard

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Quick Step are taking the former Rabo mantle to the next level. Tactical strength to get into great positions so that it's even more spectacular how they find ways to not succeed.

 

[dicanio_michael]

Well deserved. Remember he bridged from the peloton to catch up the 1min gap

If 2 riders don't have the juice they can't win. It's easy to make a call sitting on your sofa.
That was a brutal race and ettix did well to have 2 riders in with a shout.
