Groenewegen fail

Why on earth was Lotto Jumbo riding behind Boom?

Photo finish in the Netherlands. Can't tell who took that.

Related to Edwig?

Nephew.

Just moved to BMC's main team, mid season

Wippert thought he had won it. Half a meter more and he would have.

You can take the riders out of RaboFail, but you can't take RaboFail out of the riders.

Groenewegen staying on his line would've done that too.

GVA should be a good mentor.

Groenewegen being clearly outsprinted by Sinkeldam and Wippert is a surprise but I only saw the finish. Maybe he had done a bunch of work earlier?

Re:

Leezer was being such an idiot. Boom probably would have had it

Now Sinkeldam wins it, a guy who spends most him time posting Black Pete propaganda on facebook
Kinda resembles the state of the country...

Thanks

Belgian title will go to either to a misshaped or to a rising rider.

So, a spring consolation it is...

 

[GuyIncognito]

Domingos Goncalves (Radio Popular) was about to do the double in Portugal. Road race and TT.
He's the lesser known twin brother of Katusha's Jose Goncalves and until this week had no big wins.

But then he crashed when leading solo on the last lap. So instead it's a group of 5. In a short uphill finish like this it's about 100% certain Guerreiro will win

Sprint in russia won by Alex Porsev of Gazprom.

Adrian Kurek wins it in Poland.
A lot of lesser known names taking jerseys this time around.

EDIT: Yep, Guerreiro takes it in Portugal

 

[jaylew]

Go, chocolate man!

Naesen takes it.

 

[sir fly]

Chapeau, Naesen!

 

[greenedge]

Gutted for Vanmarcke, he looked so strong (and hasn't won in so long).

 

[johnymax]

Naesen

Re:
