Dwars Door Vlaanderen - 23/3/11 - 201km

[Jamsque]

Thomas the Tank Engine is on a blinder today! I am not sure this move will come to much but it's a great effort and it will help Flecha get some rest behind.

 

[spalco]

Damn, Cancellara is just a freak, always impressive to watch.

 

[luckyboy]

Ballan's the last guy on the Cance train right?

 

[mr. tibbs]

Offredo! The dude has got no mercy. Lars Bome is in the lead group too.

I'm gonna marry him. I love Offredo.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

group appears to be splintered.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Just too much headwind

 

[auscyclefan94]

is cancellara showing his cards too early?

 

[El Pistolero]

Too late

He had the team, but didn't use it.

 

[red_flanders]

Devolder not sitting on the back anymore.

 

[Jamsque]

Hey guys, remember Stijn Devolder? He still exists!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Terpstra looking strong. Working for Boonen?

 

[Roland Rat]

It's about time Geraint was allowed his head in some races instead of playing the super-domestique/lead out role.

 

[El Pistolero]

Terpstra looking strong. Working for Boonen?

Weird, he looked weak the whole race and now all of a sudden. I think Boonen should help Terpstra win here. Although peloton is too big now.

 

[Jamsque]

G is not really working on the front, I guess he's just marking the move for Flecha.

 

[hfer07]

something has to happen before the 10km mark

 

[maltiv]

Surely, Flecha will launch an attack when/if Gee is caught. Looking good for Sky.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nuyens is really strong, the group at 16 seconds now... no real co-operation in the pack!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

the chase on those 3 guys doesn't seem urgent. Nuyens is a dangerous guy to let up the road.

 

[Cobblestoned]

great to see that Nuyens is still alive

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I dont get this race. Thomas not doing anything in the break when clearly he's the fastest of the 3? Rabobank doing nothing? Haussler doing most of the work for Garmin?

 

[TeoSheva]

how is the situation?

 

[Jamsque]

Nearly 20 seconds for the front trio. I think Nuyens needs to drop G if he wants to win.

 

[roundabout]

So there's a relatively big group chasing and there should be enough helpers to chase and yet they are attcking like crazy

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

@Hugo Amorison is pretty quick.
And nuyens will probably drop thomas before the end.

Thomas also seems to be the most tired of the three. He had to leave a gap when Goris was dropped but managed to claw his way back.
