[TommyGun]

Thank god no Yates!

 

[Kwibus]

Gratz to Wellens. Yates really underestimated the finish

Nice gambling by Wellens as well with the group of chasers coming realllly close.

 

[Flamin]

WELLENS!!! Beast. Good warm-up for his first monument victory in 3 weeks.

Re:

Wellens getting better and better. Impressive.

Costa 3rd and I just watched Gesink winning the bunch sprint

You clearly forgot about Gesink the uphill sprinter specialist when he's racing in Canada

 

[Jagartrott]

Played it really cool, because was in the worst position.
Waited, waited, waited some more. Looked him straight in the eye. Nice.

No sprinters left at the end by the way?

 

[BigMac]

This was 2011 Déjà Vu. Wellens played Costa, Yates was Fédrigo and Costa was Gilbert. Great finish.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink wins another peloton sprint. Lol.. Should refocus maybe

He has a real chance IF it rains.

Meh, he did a fantastic Tour for his standards lately. Impressed by his explosiveness tho...

Tim Wellens

Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec: 120
GP Ouest France - Plouay: 110

Haha wtf.

I don't think so, with the new course real climber is gonna take it. Great win by the way, Belgium will be ridiculously strong in Richmond

Boonen, GVA, Gilbert, Benoot, Wellens...?

 

[l.Harm]

Gesink can sprint if everybody's dead at the end, like today.

you do know Wellens skipped the worlds right?

 

[Red Rick]

I want to see a 3 month gt, where kruijswijk demolishes the climbs from the 5th week onward and where gesink wins all the bunchsprints in the 3rd month

Maes and Keisse will be there tough

Wellens: "I don't like to ride in the rain"

Yeah Right

Re:

Did they take your KOM or something?

 

[BigMac]

This is already one of my favourite photographs. Would be perfect with the Belgian flag.

Didn't know. That's a shame, he would be good outsider

 

[BigMac]

 

[l.Harm]

Huge talent. Much better racing than in Quebec, unfortunately nobody could see it

 

[TommyGun]

Re: Re:

I am not a big fan of Orica, with their fake "cool" attitude, that's all! I cannot really explain with I like or dislike a given rider, some of this stuff must be irrational, I admit .
I sense this huge hype growing around the Yates brothers, and I am afraid I will see a lot of it in most classics and stage races for the next 10-12 years... sigh...

 

[BigMac]

Only 64 riders finished. Most DNF'd. Today was a good day. Missed the rain already.

 

[Billie]

have never seen Wellens racing in a normal kit. Always wears a suit
