Driedaagse De Panne-Koksijde 2.HC 26th-28th March 2013

[Netserk]

Le Machine crushing 'em

 

[Afrank]

Chavanel 9 seconds faster at intermediate, he'll probably take this.
Shame for vorobyev.

 

[pedromartins]

Omega to do 1st 2nd 3rd 4th?

 

[pedromartins]

Cav only +7!

WTF!

 

[doperhopper]

good old chava riding good old "hammer" style like Mr. Hammer Serhyi Honchar himself, hope he'll hold on

 

[pedromartins]

Cav only +7!

WTF!

Oh... AT 7:07. uffff... Misread the tweet.

 

[HoinkDoink]

Kristoff not a bad split

 

[pedromartins]

Le bon +5 at the end.

 

[pedromartins]

Chav -20. WOW!

 

[Afrank]

Chavanel takes it by a massive 18 seconds.
2nd still a good result for Vorobyev.
Westra didn't get 2nd.

 

[Netserk]

Ready for Vlaanderen

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

A lot of red, blue & white on that leaderboard.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Chavanel is a freak. He's gonna kill'em in De Ronde.

 

[woodburn]

Cav swaying side to side.

Great to see Chava finally unleashed a bit. Hope he wins in Vlaanderen, due to Cance and Sagan marking each other or aggressive OPQS tactics due to lack of Boonen form.

Yep - it's been very hard to watch OPQS constantly tie him up by forcing him to go on the attack in classic after classic.

Overall:

 

[maltiv]

Wow what a TT by Kristoff!

He's never been a good TTer, so that was very surprising. Even beating the likes of Durbridge...He must be in the form of his life. His goal of finishing top 10 in RVV doesn't sound unrealistic at all.

His best eschelon riding, sprint and TT in the space of 3 days.

 

[timcoppens]

Turbo Durbo and Heppy will take one and two in tomorrow's TT

Congrats on his +1' down for Hepburn.

 

[hfer07]

Chava taking no sh!t no more!!

He's going to lead the troops in Flanders without a doubt

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Dominant win by Chavanel. Always at the front trying to animate the race. Killing everybody in the TT.

When the weaker guys heads for the hotel to prepare for RvV in front of the telly, Mr Chavanel delivers the show.

Chapeau.

And now for the biggie.

Chavanel is a freak. He's gonna kill'em in De Ronde.

Because he beat a bunch of 21-year olds and a couple of mediocre riders?

 

[shalgo]

Great to see Chava finally unleashed a bit.

Yes, he has never before had the opportunity to win De Panne by taking the final TT--at least not in the last 364 days.
