Well done!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Weirdest race ever.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Sky finally win a monument, thanks to, of all things, Orica's guy doing more work and not sucking wheel when he had the best chance of profiting from it. Oh, the ironing.

But hey, Albasini didn't win, which is in and of itself a triumph.

 

[DBotero]

Wow amazing one for Poels

 

[Red Rick]

Happiness and rage at the same time here as a Dutchie and a Sky rider won

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Anyone but Valverde won, so it must have been a great race.

 

[the asian]

A Sky Duchie wins a monument

Feel a bit sorry for Albasini though. Rode super on the cobbled climb.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yeeeeeeeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes! Wout you hero

Re:

I totally agree with you!

 

[Vasilis]

YYYEEESSS!!!! WOUT POELS TAKES IT!!!!

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Awful race and awful result

 

[BigMac]

Poor Albasini.

Samu and Costa could have done a bit more work but they were cooked.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Movistar and Etixx back to the drawing board

 

[Eclipse]

Awful week thankfully rounded off by a fairly nice winner

 

[classicomano]

This is so deserved for Woutje. God bless him.

Re:

I don't mind him winning but yeah, whole ardennes just suck.

 

[PremierAndrew]

So the monument winners so far:

Arnaud Demare, Peter Sagan, Mat Hayman and Wout Poels

 

[rehy90]

Worst Liege ever...everyone waiting for the cobbled climb

Whenever you feel sorry for Albasini, remember he's the guy that called Kévin Reza a "dirty n****r".

Not excatly the LBL I hoped for. This was not an especially entertaining race!

But at least Valverde didn't win! The most positive thing today.
