What a bunch of losers behind Voeckler.

they couldn't do any better. the best man won today.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Please my excuses actually make sense unlike some AS Bull****. Yeah BMC will perform in the ardennes week.

Hahaha. Oh, you are hilarious. Did you read my little compilation of your replies in the Roubaix-thread?

[dabaideschbi]

do you guys have any news regarding Peter Sagan?? is he riding tomorrow the GP DENAIN? it's a pity cause this guy could have challenged voeckler today in my opinion...this season he was so close to win many races but at the end of the day he only have 3 wins in his pocket

 

[jens_attacks]

too bad i missed this.can't wait to download it now
excellent that tommy voeckler won,the man is a beast now and in july they will spread fear in the peloton that's for sure
happy to hear that duarte found his legs finally.

Yeah, the best man won, but they still rode like a bunch of losers behind him. Well, except for Duarte actually.

 

[Havetts]

Bunch of third rank cyclists.

they simply couldn't do any better. they were all equal to each other except duarte

 

[The Hitch]

It was said previously in the thread, and I concur. This season is getting ridiculous.

In what way?

No, they just didn't chase or put in real attacks. If Freire wanted to win he should have done something. As if it matters if someone with his palmares becomes second or 9th...

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

they chased. man it was 100% clear basically no one had anything left in the final

 

[theyoungest]

At first the chase was a bit lacklustre. Voeckler was certainly the strongest though.

A Volkskrant guy says Ten Dam did no work for two laps because he thought Breschel was in front

 

[TeoSheva]

come on... they've just gone to the finish. Six or seven riders chasing (flat or hilly percours), are always better than one man alone! whatever is your name! and this is proved by BMC vs Cancellara in the last year RVV. If the man alone wins, they did'nt chase him!

It looked more like nobody wanted to work or organize the chase....

 

[Mellow Velo]

Since we already have a: 'Can anyone stop Boonan?' thread and we won't be needing one for Phil Gilbert this year, surely it's time for a: 'Can anyone stop Tommy Voeckler?' thread.

 

[Sophistic]

ah on that course being in a group give you obviously only a very small advantage, Voeckler was the strongest.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

wow I give up on all these idiot comments. you guys clealry never rode a bike. no it doens't go fatser with 7 dead riders riding after a stronger rider on a hilly course like this

 

[Fetisoff]

Not that anyone here cares, really, but the "chasers" did gain about 20 seconds on the "peloton" in the last lap.

 

[El Pistolero]

Yep, they all happened to be just as strong. What a coincidence

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

No that can't be true, it wouldn't make sense to call everyone behind him loosers, idiots, failures, cowards and whatever else negative you can immagine.
This way, him being not the stronges, actually everyone in the race can be called an idiot! Voekler for attacking, as this should never work, and the others because it did work.
In the end Voeckler is just the lucky idiot!

Being able to call eveyone ****, thats what caring about sports is all about, isn't it? So embrace the nature of the sport! Stop thinking someone was ever actually good or strong, or will ever be!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

welcome to clean cycling unfortunately

He has more confidence than all of Rabobank combined for starters.

and we all saw how amazing meersman was

man i have even more faith in t.dekker atm then meersman, overrated

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Not me, I loved Boom's interviews back in his Cyclocross days. You only have a "dikke nek" if you fail to deliver.

so you must hate meersman now, dikke nek he is!

 

[Mellow Velo]

I agree.
The fact that Duarte was able to first, ride up to them and then, ride them off his wheel, shows that they were spent.

 

[El Pistolero]

so you must hate meersman now, dikke nek he is!

Of course not, he already won nice races this season. Come back when Dekker does something. One bad day is not the end of the season
