[Red Rick]

[WheelofGear]

Nooo. No Terpstra win.

Re: Re:

Im not sure Gilbert wouldve won without the crash. GVA lost at least 10 seconds to the crash, and more seconds lost to the absence of Sagan and Naessen from the group

Van Baarle was at 48s at some point and he was behind the Sagan group. So yeah, think it would have been close.

Omg Pippo in the chase group!!

I feared this would happen. Diminishing the most legendary performance I've seen, oh well.

Indeed, that is extremely sad

Yup. Sad, sad, sad.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Gilber losing massively now. Please hold em off so Terpstra does not win

 

[Flamin]

Disgusting commentating on Sporza. Not caring about the team car putting Gilbert out of the wind while they where furious in G-W about Sagan and Terpstra getting a tow.

 

[Irondan]

Nooo, cmon Phil!!!!

 

[PremierAndrew]

Anyone but Terpstra please

Who's diminishing anything? It's not even certain at this point that Gilbert will win, look at the gap. It's perfectly reasonable to suggest he would have been caught had the chasers not crashed, if he's not in fact caught.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

The way Gilbert is collapsing, does look like Sagan cost himself another big result.

 

[Red Rick]

Group behind will start thinking about the podium too.

 

[Andro]

Imagine if he gets caught and Terpstra wins. Now that would be a forum meltdown.

But he's not getting caught.

Re:

This, but it would be better for Phil Gil to hang on.

 

[GuyIncognito]

The headwind is costing Gilbert massively

 

[saganftw]

Re: 2017 Tour of Flanders / Ronde Van Vlaanderen - April 2,

Come on gilbert!

 

[Jelantik]

come on Gilbert.. come on.. it'll be a heart break if they catch him...

 

[WheelofGear]

Terpstra is up there with Majka and Gerrans in the most annoying rider category.

 

[Hugo87]

Gilbert deserves this legendary win, please hold on!

 

[Irondan]

Re:

So will Sagan.

 

[Velolover2]

Win this Gilbert. For the race.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Hmmm I thought Gilbert had won already even before the crash, when they weren't closing the gap on the Kwaremont, but it looks like I was wrong.

 

[Red Rick]

Gilbert is absolutely finished.

Luckily for him, the Ronde is finished as well

 

[deValtos]

Actually I said earlier Gil would've won anyways even if Sagan had not crashed .... now I'm not so sure.
