2015 Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, 28th Feb, 200km, 1.HC

[Netserk]

So Boonen, Stybar, GVA, 2xSky and ??? in the select group.

 

[goggalor]

Wow, some show of strength from Boonen.

 

[King Boonen]

Just a leg test from Boonen.

 

[trevim]

Only six or seven guys with Boonen at first. Stybar up there with GvA

 

[Orbit501]

Boonen showing everyone who's boss over Taaienberg.

Was that Trentin that nearly come off trying to turn at 90 degrees to get back over to the smooth gutter?

 

[skidmark]

So Boonen, Stybar, GVA, 2xSky and ??? in the select group.

Think is was maybe EBH; hard to tell because he was hiding at the back, but I thought I saw the cervelo e on the shoulder...

Either way a bigger group now. But yeah, surprised Vanmarcke is not there.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

it was definitely a MTN guy, but I don't know who, EBH would be logical

 

[Arredondo]

Vanmarcke had a flat tire before Taaienberg, started the climb at the back of the peloton.

Thanks.

Understandably nobody wanted to cooperate with Boonen and Stybar.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Vanmarcke got caught in a crash or peloton split or something, but he was behind the peloton at the Taaienberg. The commentators at Sporza said he was very impressive passing half the peloton in the back of the Taaienberg, but there's still enough to make up to Boonen and co. He had a really bad moment to get caught out in the back,,,,,,

 

[Netserk]

Offredo goes!

edit: why did you delete your post Maaaaaaaarten?

 

[trevim]

I think Sieberg, Trentin, Hagen and Offredo are in the front group too

 

[goggalor]

Offredo still riding without gloves.

 

[Arredondo]

Haussler really cracks

Wiggins still quite in front

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Vanmarcke back in the peloton according to Sporza

Kristoff was also behind, but he's also come back to the peloton.

 

[trevim]

Kristoff getting back on it seems

 

[Arredondo]

Abandon Van Keirsbulck

 

[Netserk]

So far it looks like Boonen is where he needs to be at this point in time

 

[skidmark]

Vanmarcke had a flat tire before Taaienberg, started the climb at the back of the peloton.

Makes more sense.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Styby working a lot, methinks tommeke wants this

 

[Netserk]

Abandon Van Keirsbulck

Do you know why? Was he involved in a crash?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Vanmarcke isn't in the front group is he? Can only see one Lotto rider and it doesn't look like Vanmarcke.

 

[Eshnar]

how long to the finish?

 

[trevim]

Abandon Van Keirsbulck

Damn I thought he may could have some freedom to attack from far out. Rowe attacks.

 

[Netserk]

how long to the finish?

50km. 10char
