E3 Prijs Vlanderen-Harelbelke

[Mellow Velo]

The 3 kings are away. Jeremy Hunt wanting a Sky contract?
Rabo legs can't follow the plan.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Pozzato fighting hard

Pozzato fighting hard

so is burghardt

 

[zapata]

Pozzato looking good. Think he'll join them.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Pozzato looking good. Think he'll join them.

yup i think he will. He looks really strong.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Rosseler showing great form. Wonder how long he can follow Pipo.

Canc doesn't want Pozzato there
Beautiful.

 

[scottsmack]

unbelievable effort from Pippo. Hope he catches, but now Canc is going...

 

[Moondance]

so is burghardt

Where is Burghardt then? Haven't seen him since Pozzato attacked the 2nd grupetto?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

asif any of these guts are gonna be able to recover and contend tomorrow

Where is Burghardt then? Haven't seen him since Pozzato attacked the 2nd grupetto?

yeah..

as far as i know:

front group - Pozzato group - Rabobank/Leukemans group - Burghardt

 

[Mellow Velo]

Flecha glassing it.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Where is Burghardt then? Haven't seen him since Pozzato attacked the 2nd grupetto?

Prolly in the Rabo group.

Wuyts now saying Boom is chasing solo.

 

[ingsve]

Rosseler showing great form. Wonder how long he can follow Pipo.

Canc doesn't want Pozzato there
Beautiful.

Ya, its' hard to know about Cancellaras sprint but my guess is that he's a little behind in that department so he wants the group to be small.

Either way I have a feeling that even if Pozzatto catches them he'll have problems in the next climb.

 

[Ibanez]

Pozzato relaxes for one second and now look what happens. Anyone know why he wasn't in the first few wheels when Boonen went?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

The rabobank group have lost 50 seconds. no burghardt in there

 

[theyoungest]

Rabo by far the strongest team in the race , but with 4 guys chasing the front.

 

[Big GMaC]

4 Rabo's would have power in numbers, but they won't get on.

Winner from Canc, Boonen, Flecha, Pozzatto, Rosseler

Looks like its over for Pippo, unfortunately. Boonen went like a rocketship on the paterburg, Pippo was a few lengths too man behind.

 

[sublimit]

it seems when Cancellara flexes his muscles its very difficult to hang on.. a very strong rider.
plenty of motorcycle outriders in front which will also help

 

[Ibanez]

Amazing how the 3 up front can put so much time into Rabo who are punching it as well. Even Pippo is staying away on his own.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Pippo really starting to struggle.

It does seem that way, Rosseler wont be any use he's cooked. Just surprised to see Pozzato drop the ball like that, only a couple of k's earlier whilst QS were working he was right on Flechas wheel, who was sitting on Boonens. Ah well, I just love Pippo, even more since his column on CN

 

[Big GMaC]

These three to stay away it would appera?

ow, just around the coner from pippo!

 

[auscyclefan94]

good ride by boom, timmy!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I better spartacus takes this one.
Then Boonen beats flecha in the sprint for second.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

good ride by boom, timmy!

meh i think he lacks the explosiveness to follow some of these attacks, but I agree has ridden strongly today.
