E3 Harelbeke 2013, 209.5km

[infeXio]

No Saxo riders anywhere to be seen once again.. Thought Breschel or Bennatti would be able to do well, guess not.

 

[burning]

No... Only GT and some proper classics. Northern classics is a low cycling genre. I truly believe it exists mostly for fans from Benelux

You really create a whole new level for trolling

 

[Ferminal]

luxemburg RR.

Yes maybe the Czech/Slovak combined too, at least Sagan can win that.

 

[luckyboy]

Can we just skip to the last 3k so we can see the sprint for the podium

 

[Netserk]

What was paris-roubaix last year?

It's obvious you're trying to dismiss what Canc is doing here, are you denying it?

Are you saying that there wasn't any attacks behind Boonen last year?

Or do you just like not to answer any questions?

 

[ChewbaccaD]

You are allowed to dislike a rider. Just try to keep it civilised. It's not that hard.

I dislike him for a myriad of reasons. I shouldn't have expressed one of those reasons here as this isn't the clinic. I do however refuse to call him anything but the name of that little guy who has a moustache.

I would also suggest that considering the level of civility you've shown, you gaze in a mirror before chiding me. Just a suggestion.

 

[spalco]

has anyone noticed how "estrange" Cancellara looks on the bike-compared to his glorious days back in 2010?

A little bit, yeah, but the power still seems to be there.

 

[Ramira]

What proper classics? These guys actually race for 70km unlike the other mob.

You know, proper classics with history like the Vattenfall Cyclassics, the type that have been going almost 20 years unlike P-R and RvV which have only been going for about a century (or the pathetic E3 which is only half a century old).

 

[postmanhat]

Thomas finally working so 5 men in the group

Him being on his own at this stage probably not in Sky plan. Think he'll attack at the next Berg, or it's another 4th perhaps

 

[pedromartins]

Yes maybe the Czech/Slovak combined too, at least Sagan can win that.

there's no comparison. At least Sagan ends races.

 

[airstream]

To think there was a time when I had doubts you were a troll...

No. Simply big fan of mountain stages

 

[jaylew]

Are you saying the last 10km haven't been static?

Are you saying you'd be saying the exact same thing about the race if it were Boonen instead of Canc doing this?

When was the last time you listened to The Black Album from end to end? Never?

I've been meaning to ask you, to which Black Album are you referring? There have been several.

 

[Netserk]

Are you saying you'd be saying the exact same thing about the race if it were Boonen instead of Canc doing this?

The one with the official name 'Metallica'

Are you saying that there wasn't any attacks behind Boonen last year?

Or do you just like not to answer any questions?

Are you saying that there was any doubt that Boonen was gonna lose in the last 25km?

Attacking for 2nd place is not really that interesting except if you're a fan of these riders and even then we don't watch a race to see who gets second. The interest then clearly downgrades.

Besides if i remember Boom attacked but therefor it was all Sky-train.

Real exciting.

Oh **** 40 seconds????

 

[infeXio]

Could get close if the lead starts going down now

 

[katkotom]

hohooo, gap coming down..:O looks like some wind in the way...

 

[luckyboy]

eh, group is catching woo

 

[pedromartins]

Interesting, 12 km and gap coming down. They can do it if they work together at full gas.

 

[SafeBet]

Could get close if the lead starts going down now

indeed, those 5 are finally working together.

 

[wwabbit]

This ain't over...

 

[Publicus]

Well, well, the gap is dropping . . . 43" Could we see a spartacus fail???

 

[pastronef]

GO FABIAN GO!

don't let 'em catch you!

 

[ChewbaccaD]

Please catch him...COME ON!!!

 

[maltiv]

To be honest, it baffles me that the group behind seem so eager to pull Sagan to the finish line. Normally they'd just be watching him. Because there are zero opportunities left to get rid of him anyway.

 

[Flamin]

Sagan the bigger engine in the chasing group.
