95th Ronde van Vlaanderen - April 3 2011

[Dekker_Tifosi]

We're nearing the 220km border. Boom should be getting tired and dropped pretty soon

 

[beer_thirty]

Nice...de oaje sjutte with the flags

Perhaps the Belgian version of Tai Chi?

 

[Jamsque]

Thomas is keeping Flecha up near the front for the Molenberg.

 

[Granville57]

You have a mother? Who knew?

Buy mom a new laptop for a gift and then log-in to one of the live streams...just to show her how good the new screen looks!

 

[The Hitch]

Ok boys and Girls. Let the racing commence.

ps. Chavanel is class.

 

[Publicus]

Flecha making a move? Or unwittingly launching Spartacus?

 

[Jamsque]

Chav looking very very strong on the bergs, he gapped the rest without much trouble.

Devolder at the back AGAIN and behind some people who had to clip out.

Flecha goes! Spartacus, Boonen, and Hushovd with him! The favourites are coming out to play!

 

[superconfex]

Canc hasn't got it

 

[luckyboy]

Devolder at the back again

 

[The Hitch]

Canc looks good. Boonen doesnt look bad either. Hopefully the predictions that Boonen wasnt on form have been wrong.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Hagen can't keep Chavanels wheel. This is why Boom should start a climb in Chavanels wheel.

 

[Jamsque]

Cadelabra just wanted to get up front so he could pick up his bottle.

I haven't seen him change bike yet, so maybe he is short on horsepower?

Chavanel is solo on the front.

 

[roundabout]

Who was moderating their what now?

 

[beer_thirty]

I like how comfortable Tommeke looked there; seems solid at this point.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Cancellara clearly grabbing a bottle of motorised water there - we all saw him, he's not even trying to hide the cheating this year.

 

[thirteen]

Basso and Nibali cooking a shoe?

I guess it's better than naked Pozzato.

Oh, oh 3DS ads!.. Cool...

LOL! wish you were here... sounds like my commentary, much to my boyfriend's annoyance

but tell me why we had Basso and Nibali to sandwich the adverts -- one left shoes, one right?

 

[Jamsque]

Saxo FINALLY got a man up the road!

 

[The Hitch]

I think Canc will go in the same place he owned Boonen last year. Maybe Boonen might have Chav and Steegmans to help him out this time.

 

[Ferminal]

The gap still isn't deadly as it is now, but maybe a few nerves creeping into those in the pack.

The big man will go before it gets to 90"

 

[Anonymous]

Canc hasn't got it

I think we must be watching a different race. He looks like he is on a stroll right now. No problem for him right now.

 

[Jamsque]

Could Chav win this? He knows this race well, he's got the strength, he's got the gap...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Chavanel completely owns Hagen and Boom, who feel the 220km border

 

[thrawn]

Hrm. Cancellara is gonna have to be careful to not let the gap get out too far.

 

[Cobblestones]

Chavanel thinks he's Cancellara

 

[Bala Verde]

I think everyone showed Canc that he needs to close the gap by himself..
