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

[Geraint Too Fast]

Stijn will **** this up somehow.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Unless he gives it to a teammate. He's got bigger fish to fry in the future.

No way, this is the only one he's not won. Anyone got a link to a stream pls?

 

[Tom T.]

He never won this race. No way he's going to give a presence.

Yes, you're right. Didn't realize he hadn't won this.

[Roude Leiw]

Boonen about to get that win that is missing on his palmares

Lol, that picture was my wallpaper for a long time....

 

[Parrulo]

Not so sure, the gap stabilized and the peloton is getting organised and driven by 3 teams

Gap is still growing and all organization will be gone by the top of the Mollenberg

Thank you!

 

[Miburo]

No way in hell Boonen is gonna give this to his teammates, never ever

[Netserk]

Important that Stybar can mark them in the chase

 

[dlwssonic]

Why the **** does GVA always waste his energy so early in the race by trying to make pointless breaks

 

[Miburo]

If Boonen wins this he won every cobbles race, and he won all of them (except this one if he wins) more than once.

Living legend.

 

[trevim]

Oh really.

teehee

I think it was just you

sidenote: anyone see those flags on the last climb? Wind was crazy!

They usually show their hands earlier. My bad

 

[Orbit501]

And Demare flat

Any idea if he's managed to get back in the main group or not?

 

[Jspear]

Sep back in the chase...shame his group won't be as organized as the Etixx group.

 

[Netserk]

Living legend.

He only won Dwaars once iirc.

Oh yea, that's true.In his defence he only tried to win that race once lol

 

[skidmark]

Yeah, they're not getting them back.

Only thing is that with Stannard not having to work and all three steppers having to, they can't wait until the sprint really... they'll have to tag-team attack in the last 10km to wear him down, but if one of those attacks sticks, maybe Boonen won't get it. I'd like to see Tommeke complete his palmares though.

Boonen will easily take it in the sprint with his two teammates leading him out.

It really is only GVA who can lose to Stannard in a sprint.

 

[Miburo]

They're never getting them back now, i hope stannard tries something but I think he's way too exhausted to try something

 

[Jspear]

Stybar getting a free ride. Arggghh...

Ok, my bad, works for me, which it does usually not for WT races

 

[skidmark]

g

I was thinking the same thing, to be honest - was wondering why they weren't showing themselves. I guess it was just that other teams were eager. They looked strong in Qatar so I had to give them the benefit of the doubt, and it seems like they haven't lost any form indeed.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

It would be better if Van Avermaet and Vanmarcke would wait and try to get some teams together to organize a chase. No matter how strong they are, they're not going to get Boonen, Terpstra and Vandenbergh back with the two of them. Even if they would, they'd come with Stybar in their wheel to bring Etixx yet another teammate......
