At least good to see that Gesink is back in business. I was pretty concerned after the Tour. But who knows, he might be able to finish 2nd a few more times to Gilbert in the coming weeks. 
Gesink seems to like Francophone Canada. Maybe poutine is his rocket fuel.

In a sprint like this you never know. Gesink isn't slow in an uphill sprint, last year he almost beat Hagen in the sprint for 2nd place (and he beat Cunego, Duque, Ballan etc)

Gesink is like Tom Simpson. He pushes his pain barrier to insane limits.
Or so it seems. Sometimes it looks like hes barely concious when he crosses the line.
Kind of like when Anquitil said he couldnt remember anything from that duel with Pou Pou.
On the subject of which, this was a duel almost as impressive.

Massive fail by Rabobank and Sky. Not beating Gilbert in a one day race. Idiots.
From past threads, I'm sure many on the forum will concur.

Still called losing, I'm afraid.
Gilbert's peak form now officially lasts for one whole year.
Luckily, BMC will get him on the slide.
EBH is just completely out of shape since TDF, his wins in eneco and vattenfall were despite his form, not because of it. I knew that Nordhaug has surprisingly been dropping EBH on every training ride lately but hoped that EBH would somehow get his form back before worlds but it doesn't look good. Sky has made him do way too many races, I mean since may he's done picardie, bayern, dauphine, tdf, eneco, vattenfall, plouay and now these 2 races.

Must be honest, really disappointed that Gesink didn't catch "Boring" Gilbert.
Speaking from his experiences with Cuddles, no doubt.
No, I destroyed my voice with shouting... it was something like "come on robert, beat that stupid ****ing belgian, please Robert. Come on... come on, destroy him.. come on.. NOOO **** AGAIN GILBERT. **** HIM"

Nice race!
Guys like Nyens should do this instead of fudging up the Vuelta TTT and then sucking for three weeks.
