94th Ronde van Vlaanderen - April 4

[delgado]

let's wait for the commissaire's verdict. Canc clearly took a tow from Riis on the finishing straight.

Anyone think that Boonens bike looked badly fitted?

It looked MUCH too short for him fore->aft

 

[Anonymous]

That was an impressive ride by Farrar. Next week might be a better race for him than this one.

hincapie 6th!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I made that prediction before you

Missed my second win by 1 place

yeah i saw, i was thinking the whole time wow ak-zaaf is good at the podium game

 

[Publicus]

Armstrong crosses the line in main chasing group. Pretty good.

I think that's an understatement. His form has improved DRAMATICALLY in the span of a week.

 

[Ibanez]

No denying it, Fabian is one cool cat.

Yes, he must have gained 0.0004 of a second there!

 

[Captain Awesome]

Great win by Cancellara and great for my favorite team(Saxo Bank). Too bad that Breschel had that terribly bike change... Would be nice to see a dane on the podium

We need another Rolf Sørensen...

 

[knewcleardaze]

I'm surprised Armstrong managed to finish. Good on him.

 

[Mellow Velo]

The Hog is blown out, as, amazingly, Armstrong finishes in the lead group.
Watch out Alberto, the fat man is coming.

Cancellara made it look too easy and a little dull, as a result.

 

[Ned Flanders]

I think that's an understatement. His form has improved DRAMATICALLY in the span of a week.

In the edit I made that point. That gastro thing must have really effected him. He also may have been focusing on strength training for this race which is not good for a long climb.

Meh! Jersey pulling wan-ker!

 

[El Imbatido]

Auscycle fan won the jersey but he edited his post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your a silly boy!!!!!!!!!!

 

[trompe le monde]

I think that's an understatement. His form has improved DRAMATICALLY in the span of a week.

Not to flog a dead horse, but surely the extra balast in Armstrong's mid-section helped on the cobbles.

I don't think it was the gastro-thing at all. His form was not great before it supposedly happened. He just made a big leap forward in form.

 

[Mellow Velo]

hincapie 6th!

Leukemans, from that Vacansoleil lot 4th.

 

[knewcleardaze]

Two Americains in the top ten.
Well done.

 

[Willy_Voet]

That was an impressive ride by Farrar. Next week might be a better race for him than this one.

Yes. He could be the next Hincapie!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Leukemans, from that Vacansoleil lot 4th.

Haha pwned

 

[Race Radio]

Hammond 7th.

 

[delgado]

ok make it a handsling then. Boonen in the UCI hq tent as we speak!

 

[Ned Flanders]

I wouldn't dismiss the gasto issue. It can set you back over a week in training.

 

[Moondance]

Yes Vacansoleil > BMC..... Yet again.

They clearly are nothing more than a breakaway team, right?

Yeah, Breschel has had terrible luck so far. Still Saxo Bank has been totally dominating on the Cobbles. Won 3 out of the 4 biggest cobbled races so far, and could perhaps have been 4 for 4 (no pun intended) save for Breschels defect in Gent.
