95th Ronde van Vlaanderen - April 3 2011

At this point the only real question is whether can hang on the wheel. You've got to think sitting on for 40k would give him a shot for victory. Not that I'd actually want to see that.

Pozzato is giving Leipheimer a strong challenge for Wheel Sucker of the Year.

lol why because he was following spartacus and following. NOOOOOOO????

 

[UpTheRoad]

Pozzato and Leipheimer will be joining Garmin very, very soon.

Someone tweet JV to HTFU and send men to the front and work.

 

[federalski]

Gap only coming down a little as Fab rests a little before blowing Chav out the water on the Muur.

 

[Ferminal]

Hopefully Tom and Phil attack those Garmin rejects on the Muur. Or that Goss is still in the group and takes 2nd off them.

 

[Jamsque]

Sky seem to be racing for 3rd as well now, apart from that one brief pull by Thomas they have just sat in the wheels. Sad.

 

[Animal]

BMC blown already? That went nowhere.

 

[beer_thirty]

If Chav stays with Fabo up the Muur I'll nominate it for Ride of the Year!

JV.. unbelievable. No riding indeed.

 

[Kellys Big Sprocket]

Its between #37 & #1. Just sit behind #1 wheel and seize the moment.

 

[veganrob]

Chavanel will give it a go

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The rain passed too early. They were predicting it all week, but it blew into our direction (limburg) instead of flanders

WTF indeed?!?!?!?!

Pozzato is giving Leipheimer a strong challenge for Wheel Sucker of the Year.

Pozzato has been on the front a few times in this race, he is actually doing something for a change to be fair to him.

wha wha what?? I thought he was bad mouthing him, i must have misunderstood

 

[Anonymous]

Boy. I didn't think listening to the race radio added much, but that's pretty sad from the garmin car.

I think its great. We get to see just how much of a freaking wimp JV is. Hey guys, let everyone else work...we'll try to podium....for the sponsors..." His sponsors should be embarrassed right now.

 

[ExRower]

Chavs legs are feeling IT! He;ll be dropped for sure

 

[Fourier]

Looks like Chavanel is just chillin'

 

[thirteen]

I am no fan of Chav but I would unironically love it if he sucked wheel for the next 20km and then stole the win.

i'm no fan of wheel-sucking, but that would be just fab!

 

[Jamsque]

I blame D_T for jinxing the rain.

 

[Kazistuta]

Thank you JV - for giving us a new team to hate on (even though it's the management, not the riders)....

 

[craig1985]

How much for one of Blackcat's and Brodeal's JV voodoo doll?

+1. At least he did some work to try and bring Cancellara back.

 

[rghysens]

boonen screwed any form of tactics. When is he going to learn to use his brain

 

[Lyds97]

wha wha what?? I thought he was bad mouthing him, i must have misunderstood

Nah, saying that he was right to ride for the podium instead of trying to beat Canc
