94th Ronde van Vlaanderen - April 4

[Cerberus]

Hanging on to Cancellara for 45 km was really a taxing effort, don't worry Boonen you'll win P-R

Nah, Spartacus picks that one up as well.

 

[curium]

Boonen looked like he selected the wrong gear on the Muur nd by the time he'd found the correct one Canc had gone!

 

[ak-zaaf]

isso, Belgian commentators read your comment on LBL and Lombardy apparently

 

[issoisso]

When is Pepsi going to sign Fabian to do an ad?

Yeah, that's what happened.

 

[Bala Verde]

You can tell. He's skin and bones, he really is.

sporza confirmed your suspicion re Canc and LBL/Lombardia

 

[Bala Verde]

Canc swallowed a vespa.

 

[issoisso]

sporza confirmed your suspicion re Canc and LBL/Lombardia

Yeah, he's said it before that once he wins Flanders, he'll go for those two.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Boonen keeps the gap at 55 seconds now

 

[python]

looks like boonen will hang on to his 2nd spot

 

[Moondance]

Since The Canc is Swiss-Italian I will say:

Bellissima!

 

[Ferminal]

Gawd, 750 posts! First time I've been able to get away from the TV.

What a gun.

Really? That was the problem...

Actually he's from the german part of switzerland (although part of his family is italian, yes)

The name Fabian is a dead giveaway. As is the fact that like all other swiss-germans and austrians, he's incapable of saying the letter "V"

"I am uery happy. The Ceruélo bikes uere uonderful"

 

[Parrot23]

"Extraterrestrial" comes to mind.

Yup, you're right about that, no doubt about it. I'm not suspending disbelief. I enjoy the sport, but am not going to be an idiot about it and believe everything.

can leukemans sprint?

 

[issoisso]

can leukemans sprint?

Nope. It's Gilbert's podium.

 

[Francois the Postman]

I think he saw Cancellara ride away, looked down at his own bike, and thought...where the heck is that gear on mine?

 

[knewcleardaze]

I wonder what this race pays?
Twenty-thirty, thousand Euros?

Impressive for Boonen to keep the gap to GIlbert/leukmens after getting dropped like that.

 

[Bala Verde]

Anyoe tried the Canc position ie hands on the bar? Looks really uncomfortable.

 

[auscyclefan94]

cancellara cramping now

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

can leukemans sprint?

Yes he can. He's pretty fast in small groups, but so is Gilbert

 

[Ned Flanders]

Well, FC hasn't looked like he is breathing that much. But sometimes riders just have a facial style that looks like they're not breathing as much as they really are....
