Amazing race!

Gaviria disappointing after 60km finale, but alas, he's just a boy.

Too bad GVA couldn't take it.

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Debusschre

 

[Samamba]

Brilliant sprint from Debusschere

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Wow. Great race. Glad Greg didn't win. I like that he isn't 2nd all the time, but I don't want him winning that much.

Gaviria took it up wayyy too early.

Terpstra did great the last 8k. Chased down GvA single handedly

 

[Alexandre B.]

Coquard so close.
But excellent performance after his injury.

Congrats Debusschere, he was strong in MSR.

Gaviria goes too early

 

[luckyboy]

Gaviria went too early. Sucks

 

[Akuryo]

Terpstra and GVA seem in form for April. Can't wait for the big races

 

[jaylew]

Coquard

Started to celebrate and it cost him. Year of the French sprinters?

 

[jsem94]

Coquard Wtf lol. Cracking race though, GVA so strong.

This is the same Gaviria guy that would have won the sprint against Démare, right?

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Headwind sprint? Debusschere and Pippo came from a long way back.

 

[Samamba]

He was in like 15th position when Gaviria en Coquard were in 2nd and 3rd position.

He didn't start to celebrate before crossing the line.

Gaviria 10th

if he jumps instead of putting up his arms he wins

Very true. He definitely went way too early but he also didn't have his normal punch. I like Gav, but I think he was a bit cocky today. I'm not sure he could have held on for that long even with his usual burst.

If he doesn't attack earlier in the race he wins.

Lotto winning a cobbled classic must have been ages ago?

 

[shalgo]

Pozzato is ready. He even had to stop pedaling in the sprint and was still 4th.

Yes, he did. He took his hands off the handlebars early.

Edit: At least it looked that way in the replay I saw. I'll watch it again.
