woman there so busy looking at the photo she had just taken that she missed all the riders going past. never understand some people.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

He's fading. Both in the race and his career.

this race by all means shouldn't suit him, he is not explosive. I wouldn't write him off. He is great on steep stuff when on form, don't forget his tour prep was somewhat disrupted.

Where is De Gendt?

And more important, where is Andrew?

De Gendt quit like half an hour ago

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Where is De Gendt?

I think they said De Gendt is out of the race.

 

[Met de Versnelling]

Where is De Gendt?

And more important, where is Andrew?

Andrew didn't start...

This race isn't Ardennes or Tour, therefore not worth his presence... *rolls eyes*

i agree with this. basso is just fine and still has1 or 2 good seasons in him

 

[trevim]

He did something in the Alpes?

No he didn't. That's why I thought his tank was empty

De Gendt gave up already
Andy never started.

I hope you guys are right.

yep. Tho I don't see him every winning the tour. That race just doesn't suit him, stick to the giro.

 

[Jeanne]

I have not noticed him at any point so far.

It's sad. Then I hope Roche, Hesjedal, Vanendert, Samuel Sanchez or GVA will win it.

 

[Tuarts]

At least Gilbert is consistent: Van den Broeck, Gilbert and now chasing Vanendert

 

[Parrulo]

question: how long till the gilbert-vanendert duo implodes? you can only live in the shadows so long when you are as good as vanendert. . . .

It should be said that Frank is there, though. One can wonder though why Andy so often a) won´t start or b) abandons, in this kind of race outside the Tour.

1 more season

That's the problem, though, he wants the Tour. So I think he'll try again.

From me this question was with a bit of irony, I just wanted to read a confirmation that the 4 week has ended

or rigo ...

ya he would need a very hard giro like tour to win it+ contador not being there. i don't see the first ever happening so we don't even need to discuss the second

he should try the giro- vuelta double imo

 

[goggalor]

Bit of a queue there, heh.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

The Tour de France?
(and ofcourse the Tour of Flanders)

In a race like San Sebastian, I meant
Not a single Belgian in the Top 10 for the last 5 years (can't find any more results but I suppose it's a long time ago)

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

This is the group.

Second group is already +30 behind so.

[HiCadence]

or rigo ...

I'd love to see that!
