2015 Le Samyn, 4th March, 201.2 km, 1.1

Let's see how Terpstra and Vandenbergh screw this one up Now it's down to the expected Meersman vs Boeckmans showdown. I think Boeckmans is gonna take it.

I know they wanted Meersman to win, but with Boeckmans there, one of them should have attacked and then have Meersman to fall back on as plan B.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Was that Benoot in the front group?

 

[Akuryo]

Well, not winning a sprint is hardly a "team fail".

 

[Jagartrott]

Good decision to start sprinting early - he surprised Meersman who was gapped and never recovered from that.

 

[TMP401]

Boeckmans had come 2nd in 2012 and 2013.

It's still funny seeing them **** things up!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Boeckmans had come 2nd in 2012 and 2013.

Yes. He was probably the biggest favorite for the win today.

This is what would've happened saturday if they relied on the sprint

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Yeah, that was just a loss. Not a fail. Meersman is a good false flat sprinter, but it's not like he was a lock that Etixx didn't deliver to the line.

 

[Flamin]

Exciting finale. Poor Meersman will be disappointed after a monster performance by his team mates.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Was that Benoot in the front group?

Yes it was, impressive performance from the lad.

Lively race to watch actually

 

[Lexman]

Glad for Boeckmans he took the win, hope he start to deliver he was quite promising a few years ago then went to Vacansoleil...

 

[SafeBet]

Yes it was, impressive performance from the lad.

Super ride indeed.
I love this kid already.

 

[Carols]

I just watched the final 20 km. Entertaining finale! QS has 4 out of 8 and gets beat by the little guy. Great stuff

Any detail in the results for the ladies

I can't believe they all finished at the same time - why are there no detailed results for Le Samyn de Dames?

Oh, there are but not at cyclingnews.com.
