Re: Re:

Way too early for Wellens.

For Wellens in the dry, yes. But for Belgium, no.

I just don't get why guys like Stuyven and Keukeleire are higher in the hierarchy than Wellens.

They can't attack the hill like Wellens did.

Oh come on. They could've been in this break easily. This is simply suicide.

Polish-French alliance in the chase. They both want a hard race and no-one in the break.

Peloton much smaller

Re: Re:

Bring no sprinters.
Wait until 60 km to go for serious moves to start making the race hard.
Don't get into said serious moves.

Well done, France.

The most puzzling part for me - and I realize I've criticized the french selection before - is that he says Démare and Bouhanni weren't in top form or motivated for this race. Fine....so why not Coquard?

Gr8 banter m8.

The bunch got smaller. Quality group in front and gap that could be closed in a half lap. Tactical game can start.

Mybe for Wellens, for Belgium certainly not.

Demare is at the beach sunbathing

Re:

He didn't start. They don't have any sprinters.

 

[Frankschleck]

Thats one good break

 

[fauniera]

Re: Re:

Wellens at like 30 k from the end. This attack is suicide

That's his role today.

Ah ok. Now it makes sense

 

[SKSemtex]

Sagan on 100th spot. :surprised:

Doesn't say anything. Even van Emden is back in the peloton according to the timing.

 

[Frankschleck]

If any one can finish it, its wellens and boom

 

[portugal11]

Quintana was dropped??? I don't know what he is doing in these worlds

 

[Rollthedice]

Boom dropped from the break.

 

[hoolaparara]

Snore... Wake me up for the 50 man sprint

 

[Red Rick]

Poels about to do his usual routine in an international championship race

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Re:

Boom dropped from the break.

Haha, did his usual 'Look how strong I am'-impression before getting dropped.

 

[Netserk]

Germans and Dutch should also chase.

 

[Tarnum]

Boom back in break.

 

[sir fly]

Interesting situation.
The breakaway could even enter the final lap in front, with the bunch willing to hold them under a minute.
Italians showing at the head of the bunch, but I doubt they want to close this down.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Re:

Or attack, like Politt now

 

[Dragontearz]

Kirby saying we didnt have mass sprint in World Championship lately. So what was last year?

 

[Isaak-Gabriel]

N Quintana is done for this season, don't think he's still in contention for any race now.
