2016 Omloop het Nieuwsblad, Feb 27th, 200.8km, 1.HC

One thing is certain: GVA will finish second

GVA is guaranteed 2nd unless Sagan is also there, in which case the Sagan 2nd rule take priority

which means that GVA will probably get 3rd

Re:

Sagan always seems to be feeding

Learned his lessons from E3, I believe.

Re:

He threw the food away, this time.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

IMO, no one will attack sooner than 3km to go. They all look wasted.

Re:

Very little energy?

 

[TMP402]

I really wouldn't count Rowe out in the sprint.

 

[sir fly]

It will be dull if it finishes in a sprint.

 

[rehy90]

would be nice to see the rainbow jersey win

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Belgian sunshine?

Re:

Rowe won that Tour of Britain stage in a dprint when Cav crashed in the finale.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Would be even nicer to see Gougeard win

 

[TourOfSardinia]

gap coming down . . .

 

[hfer07]

Rowe is hiding quite well...

 

[burning]

Flemish commentators says the gap is going down, it is 28 seconds

 

[VanBsr]

30 now. They will not have time for games

true true

Gap closing quick. Its gonna be close!

 

[Max Rockatansky]

Gap is melting quickly.

Re: Re:

Rowe won that Tour of Britain stage in a dprint when Cav crashed in the finale.

And beat Kristoff in Roubaix last year - although to be fair I don't remember if Kristoff tried hard/at all.

 

[Jspear]

Gap is down to 29 sec

 

[afpm90]

Chavanel brought that gap down.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Interesting. They have no time for tactical games now.

 

[Sasquatch]

So why didn't an Etix rider go with the Sagan/Van Avermaet move? Idiots.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

some shots of the peloton would be useful

Didn't he also outsprint Kristoff here last year?
