95th Ronde van Vlaanderen - April 3 2011

[Winterfold]

Not sure I'd let Hammond and Hunt get 8 minutes

 

[luckyboy]

6'24" now.

 

[Cobblestoned]

Horrible, horrible weather

Not sure I'd let Hammond and Hunt get 8 minutes

It's only 6'25" now.

Euskatel hanging off the back as always.

Garmin have three or four guys at the front just watching to make sure no moves get away.

i'm excited for de ronde though i won't be posting in the final hours of the race as i will be watching on the tv (lucky for the rest of you).

I wont't be able to rub it in when BMC win!!!!

 

[Jamsque]

Good Old Roger!

Euskatel hanging off the back as always.

First thing they showed on the highlights from last year was a Euskaltel rider on the floor

 

[Jamsque]

Euskatel at the Ronde is the biggest argument against the current structure of the World Tour.

 

[Jamsque]

Oh wow, Cav is here today. I forgot.

 

[Cobblestoned]

Uh, early attacks in the back - initiated by Tjalingi

 

[Jamsque]

Group of 20 or so has about 5 seconds. I think I saw EBH's trademark yellow shoes in there.

It's coming back though.

 

[Ferminal]

Was hoping for a more impressive break...

ES doesn't start for 45mins here, should be around the time they are @ Kruisberg.

 

[ak-zaaf]

This would be a cool group to get some time

 

[The Sheep]

Greipel Farrar EBH ?

Sky using their brains for once.

just because you have a rider in the front group doesnt mean you dont have to attack.

 

[Jamsque]

They are spreading out and looking over their shoulders, it's not going to stay away.

AG2R leading the chase from behind.

 

[boomcie]

They keep looking backward. Annoying.

At least they're already racing.

Chute Mouris.

 

[Jamsque]

Jens Mouris just bit the kerb.

 

[Jamsque]

THRILLING STUFF from the Garmin team car there.

 

[luckyboy]

Haha JV + PVP in the car.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Petegem navigating the Garmin guys. Bit sad.

 

[Jamsque]

The second move is 19 riders and they have 29 seconds.

Farrar, Wilson, Bozic, Marcato, Steegmans, Greipel, CAVENDISH, EBH, Mondoroy, Paolini, Steegmans (sp), Ladagnous, de Koert, and others whose names I missed.
