Dwars Door Vlaanderen

[Mellow Velo]

Klier, Boonan, Breschel and Cancellara on the Kwaremont. Nice group!

 

[sublimit]

This is the Oude Kwaremont of which you speak. Those are not "some cobbles," they're legendary. RESPECT THEM

dont worry feller i have total respect for cobbles.

keep calm.

 

[Sasquatch]

Cancellara will win Ronde.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Now some more cobbles with a bit of a gradient. What's it called again?

 

[Moondance]

Nice to see Klier seemingly back to his 04-05 form. He might be Cervelo's top hope for the classics in next week with Haussler & Hushovd not in form.

 

[TRDean]

Skil? Hate to keep asking...but they are my team...

 

[hfer07]

wow- Boonen is causing some pain!!

 

[TRDean]

By the way...there are cobbles in Flanders??? Who knew?

 

[Moondance]

dont worry feller i have total respect for cobbles.

keep calm.

C'mon, I was (half) joking.

I worship every cobblestone in Flanders, so I'm a little excited


Sigh.... It's been SOOOOOO long since I last went for a nice bike trip over those wonderful hills. I really need to make the time some day.

 

[Jamsque]

Flecha is in the group with Cancellara and Boonen, they are now catching stragglers from the earlier large break.

 

[Race Radio]

Nice bikepath.

[franciep10]

Breschel is looking good so far

 

[scottsmack]

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Breschel is looking good so far

he looks next best after boonen. maybe a chance at flanders this year.

Who did you expect to be there for them at the front? They really don't have a solid guy for these types of races.

 

[Moondance]

Oeffff.... The Canc laying down the hammer.

Noone is working with him tho, shame.

Didn't De Kort win Roubaix for espoirs once or something like that?
Never really showed it at the pro's tho =/

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

mighty pull by posthuma

 

[Jamsque]

It's about to come back together at the front with less than 30km to go.

 

[Moondance]

He did.

He was always part of these races in his Astana days (or at least whenever Astana showed up) but I never spotted him.

Bringing Langeveld to the front.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Since when is this a derny race?

 

[Jamsque]

Cancellara working to set up Breschel, we assume?

The first breakaway is finally caught.

 

[Moondance]

Breschel clearly has major designs on this race. The Canc wouldn't be working this way if he didn't. Breschel's still pedalling a very small gear, always a good sign.
