Re: Re:

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

Yup, the Belgiums have a lot of knowledge, but they're way to much nationalistic. They can't stop talking about Belgium riders or Belgium teams. The Dutch may have some less knowledge (although Maarten Ducrot knows a lot), but have a lot more humor.

They put the barriers over the gutter. No easy path up anymore
Not in the 2nd part of Pater tho

VM and Stybar should be more in the front,bad positioning from them.

I'll have to look again on the second loop. It was near the top that I (thought I) noticed it.

Sky and Etixx need to rip it up now or they're handing the race to Kristoff or Degenkolb - or indeed Lotto can give it a go, as they have with Greipel.

Etixx has to try something soon, I simply don't know how they can do in the final 20km only

Greipel's having a fun year: dropping Nibali, bossing the cobbles, not dominating Australia for a change

Stybar recently said that what he had learned from the past few editions was to use his energy more carefully. I think he is just conserving his energy. Also he was well positioned at the Paterberg even though he was nowhere to be seen at Kwaremont.
