E3 Harelbeke 2013, 209.5km

[Ramira]

Impressed by Sagan. Willing to work his *** off to get a chance to win today. Even if it fails kudos for the effort.

 

[pedromartins]

Canc is suffering! Sagan doesn't quit!

Thankfully there's only one Andy schleck!

 

[The Sheep]

They're gaining time again

 

[shalgo]

Not so boring after all.

 

[infeXio]

Theyre ultimately just dragging Sagan to the line

 

[Ferminal]

Fabian trolling.

 

[jaylew]

Yeah, MOP, AJFA, and RTL are definitely better. That said, the Black Album introduced me to them so I do appreciate that. Ok, back on topic...

 

[Ildabaoth]

Gap decreasing, but a little bit too late.

 

[Miburo]

If they take Canc back Sagan has his revenge

 

[DominicDecoco]

Struggling in the headwind here, Fabian.

 

[virandociclista]

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

without a motor inside the bike is more hard.

Come on... catch this swiss guys!!!

 

[shalgo]

Could there be any more vehicles around Cancellara?

 

[Miburo]

Back 45 seconds.

 

[Aristarchus]

Gap is stabilizing. Canc is digging down.

 

[SafeBet]

Langeveld is cooked. Fabian now gaining time again.

 

[Afrank]

Gap going back up slightly.
Come on Fabian!!! Go! Go! Go!

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.

Ah yes, that's because you pulled me down to your level.
I shouldn't do that, but sometimes trolls on this forum get on my nerves on this forum (you happy again). I enjoy trolling at times, but not here. I come here to enjoy the talk about the race and back in the days it was quality here. Well that's allready a long time ago. Nowadays half of it is about my rider rules nd yours sucks.

You might wonder why the hell i still check this forum? I do as well...

 

[ChewbaccaD]

Not gonna catch him...off to lunch.

 

[postmanhat]

Gap going out again now. Chasers seem to faffing a bit

 

[katkotom]

only Peter and Chav taking real turns...

 

[luckyboy]

lol Cance pulling away again

 

[Miburo]

It's obvious, the final of PR '12 was way more exciting

Ah it's over for real now, a shame

 

[Roderick]

It's cute to see how these 5 mortals try to catch the Tank back. Not even if the race would be another 100k long, they would take him back

 

[Netserk]

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.

So I state that this race has been static for some time.

You then ask me if PR last year was static (for the last 50km).

I then ask you if there was any attacks there (in PR) in the last 50 km.

You shift topic and ask if there was any doubt if Boonen would win the last 25km (why not 50km any longer?)

And according to you:
Static = no doubt about who wins the last 25km (Is that correctly understood)

According to me:
Static = No meaningful attacks = The opposite of dynamic

Very impressive ride by Cancellara.
I was wrong when I wrote that I think he'll keep his powder dry. So wrong.
This looked like the dress rehearsal for De Ronde. Attack on the Kwaremont 35 k's from the finish. That should be the second passage in De Ronde.
Sagan missed the initial split on the Boonenberg, but the team did great job. He has the support, but still lacks the experience.
Early season troubles have left their mark on Boonen.
Cancellara in the class of his own. He's certainly aware that this kind of performance will put him 2011. position. Hopefully he has the solution this time around.
