go ahead please.

Assuming that was not sarcasm.

Boom tried to ride besides Boonen on the Taaienberg, hit Boonen's shoulder and was seemingly pushed into the dirt. Kind of humiliating for Boom.

Are u into morbid things? Because it doesn't sind right when you like riders landing on their backs.
No I'm not.

It was more to show that he belongs behind Boonen, as he can't stand beside him for long.

Wasn't sarcasm, just couldn't remember any particular reason why there should be anything behind the incident.

Sounds like Boom got a bit unlucky. Won't happen again I am sure,

Take a chill pill.

That was hilarious and if he knew his place it wouldn't have happened.

Considering he got 3rd last year and has some good form going now ( 10th Milano San Remo for him is quite a good result ) it wouldn't be that surprsing.

It just matters who Sky work for, him, EBH or Thomas here.

I don't think they'll work for anyone in particular, they'll just have a lot of riders covering moves and attacking. Unless it becomes obvious that it comes down to a sprint, in which case they'll probably work for Eisel or EBH.

What sound did it make when Lars hit the ground?

:D

He was schooled in what it takes to mess with the big boys, someone is being a little sensitive. I don't recall any whining from Boom?

He posted a video of cyclists getting run over, a few weeks ago, so I was just wondering about that.

Netserk's guy will win this though.
