2015, Ronde van Vlaanderen 264.9 Km

Sky and Quickstep keeping the racing very negative. But, apparently minor riders are "leaking" out the front?

I'm doubting Sky's strategy. 70K out and still leading the peloton.

Never underestimate the bots. They are programmed to last the whole race

The real race hasn't started yet. Sky on the front doesn't mean anything, other than nobody else wants to race yet.

Lotto very aggressive today. Chapeau.

 

[Flamin]

Quick Step sends someone to the front now. That's better.

Edit: Guillaume I think

 

[sir fly]

Koppenberg should derail the train.

No rain, no wind = no race.
Just punctures and shimano trolling...

The counter attack is swelling.

I've loved lotto's tactics this year. Outside shot, but I would love to see their aggression pay off.

I don't know. You try grinding out that pace for as long as they have and the difficult racing still not started.

It reminds me of their London Olympic road race strategy.

One interesting thing happens that isn't a car crash and Eurosports are at commercials

Re: Re:

Anyone got an English stream where the commentary isnt out of sync?

Real men watch Tour of Flanders in Dutch, whether they understand the language or not.

Dutch or Flemish?

What's the difference?

The Belgian commentators are good, knowledgable commentators who love the sport, the Dutch are a bunch of morons who just use the same hyperbole every 2 minutes and who don't know jack **** about cycling

Agree, absolutely. I always watch Sporza.

Cancellara's punctuation on Trek's twitter is giving me aids...

Well they are at commercials every 10 mins. so...

 

[ray j willings]

Def typical GB/SKY tactics. Everyone getting a free ride and a few dangerous teammates already up the road.
Sky will have to chase. They should have sent some one up the road

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Let's hope the race starts at first kwaremont. I'm bored

 

[TMP402]

I wonder if Knaven was over-ruled by Brailsford as soon as Thomas was spoken of as a favourite

 

[burning]

Seriously, wtf is going on

 

[doperhopper]

cyclogeddon now - air gate attack!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Slapstick race

 

[rainman]

Must be the full freakin moon

 

[spalco]

The thing with the blow-up gate or whatever you call that was pretty funny. The most excitement in the last half hour anyway.
