Zottegem 2011 is still Greipel's most impressive win ever

 

[gizzajob]

he's maybe so comfortable that he just can't stop racing, or else I don't know. Originally, it wasn't in his calendar, at least no according to his webpage.

From http://www.cannondaleprocycling.com/the-northern-campaign-continues-with-driedaagse-de-panne/

" Sagan will have to pay attention and not risk too much, but the rest of the team and Viviani especially will aim to be active"

any video?

can you explain more? I did not watch that race

 

[Flamin]

Great line-up with some strong armadas. The Ardennes stage should be very good.

he attacked the bunch midway through the race and won the sprint from the breakaway group just in front of the chasing peloton. I don't think the video is on youtube

 

[manafana]

thinking Grivko could get bit more out of his tt and win this.

 

[Sasquatch]

If Stage 1 is the same or similar to last year, then a year older, surely Durbridge (assuming his form is right) will win.

He was 28 odd seconds off last year. Yes he was fatigued and would've won that time trial if there wasn't a morning stage. But surely a year on, he will get closer, if not win.

Otherwise Chavanel will go back to back.

 

[xrayvision]

My bet is Chavanel will finally get this.

Will there be any live streaming?

 

[Ferminal]

~20kmh crosswind all day, probably not enough to dislodge anyone?

 

[search]

the stage itself is hard enough to make a selection

 

[Ferminal]

For some, but a gust of wind as opposed to Valkenberg is a more dangerous proposition for a GC favourite.

 

[Roude Leiw]

My bet is Chavanel will finally get this.

Will there be any live streaming?

German Eurosport scheduled it live, so there should be a stream

 

[TeoSheva]

Ladagnous can fight for this as well

 

[Dazed and Confused]

My bet is Chavanel will finally get this.

well, Chavanel won it last year...

well, Chavanel won it last year...

Yes I know, I meant to his first win of the year but forgot about his stage win in P-N so he got it. But thanks for the reminder anyway.

Yes thanks, Eurosport2 will broadcast live at 15.30 - 17.00 CET

looks good.

unoff. 14 / Stuivenberg / km 192 / km 7 / 600 m / 4,0 % / 6,0 %

nice little kicker.

 

[manafana]

today should provide a whos who of gc contenders for thursday time trial, doubt time gaps are anything to decide a race by thou.

 

[spalco]

So when are the live pictures starting? All I'm seeing right now is couple old guys talking about football apparently (no sound, so I can only guess).

 

[HiCadence]

Starts on ES2 in 25 minutes (apparently).
