Re: Re:

:surprised:
What the **** was that bus doing there?

Did you see the women Omloop? Cars on the course driving towards the riders! I thought that sort of marshalling only happened in the UK!

No... coz it wasn't *** shown on television! (part from shitty streams!)

 

[MartinGT]

Senechal and Boom looking the strongest

 

[MartinGT]

Tim Declerq, love him

 

[sir fly]

No mercy from D-QS...
Their strength in depth really makes the unmatchable difference.
Congrats.

 

[MartinGT]

Senhechal

Great last few Km's

 

[markene2]

Quickstep wins again of course why wouldnt they

Congrats.

Boom opened too early. But he looked really strong.

 

[RedheadDane]

Aw! I really wanted Declercq to take this.

 

[Carols]

Senechal from the Wolfpack!

Re:

haha me too.

Grafts like a madman for that team and fully deserves a win.

 

[SafeBet]

Senechal is such a great rider, I'm glad he won.
Boom with questionable tactics in the end.

 

[BalearicBeats]

Senechal with only his first win? Roompot looked good as a team here. Planckaert did not race his smartest race

 

[LaFlorecita]

Yippee! Great win for Florian!

 

[Robert5091]

Chapeau Quickstep & Senechal! Good race & QS had the numbers at the end. QS - one day masters.

Yeah, in fact, neither of the three Deceuninck riders in the front group had ever won a race before.

 

[DNP-Old]

I thought Terpstra didn't look that good.

Re:

If Lars Boom still wants to play his part in spring classics, here's his ticket to get back into a proper flow.

Not too shabby.

Re:

This is Senechal's to win with Quick Step making him their leader, it's contract year and he has way too many top 10s already with no wins

Chapeau Looked stronger than Terpstra today, despite having raced the two weekend races also. Should win Paris Roubaix one day

Aren't you maybe being a tiny bit liberal with the word "should" here?

"Should" as in if Quick Step tactics don't force him to miss out on potential victories

Wouldn't it be their tactics that would give him the tiniest of chances of actually pulling that off? Or are you suggesting he is at the level of guys like Sagan, Vanmarcke, Naesen and Van Avermaet?

 

[ecw445]

I think so, was stronger on the cobbles than Terpstra today

 

[Squire]

Senechal has shown more at 25 than Naesen had at the same age. He could still improve and become top tier, and he looked great today. Easily the strongest in the race (especially after Terpstra burned some unnecessary energy early on). But saying he 'should' win Paris-Roubaix might be stretching it.

Re:

Come on, a guy wins Le Samyn, and he is at Sagan level??

 

[Sciatic]

Enjoying their time on the podium!
