There was first big attack from Widar to close the gap

 

[DNP-Old]

8 km to go, still all together. Bunch sprint coming up likely.

 

[DNP-Old]

Anze Ravbar. Who?

 

[Samamba]

Anze Ravbar. Who?

Yeah another surprise, wonder if there was some sort of crash or something.

Anyways seems like its all about positioning if this ends in a bunch sprint, kinda as expected.

Results do seem a bit more random than at e.g. The Glasgow wc.

There's a lot of guys who are not at the Euros... btw Kooij actually survived the Worlds course a lot longer than Philipsen did. Same for Gent-Wevelgem. It's not a given that Philipsen is "most certainly" better on a course like this.

Philipsen is absolutely better on a course like than Kooij. The World's course was a funny one and many riders struggled on that parcours.

 

[Dk one]

What is this farce?!

 

[Izzyeviel]

Zak Erzen - remember that name.

 

[cen]

Two new Slovenian prodigies in the making?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

What is this farce?!

Farce over - three on the attack

1		13	PALADIN Soraya	ITA
2		25	CHABBEY Elise	SWI
3		88	ERIĆ Jelena	SRB

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I don't really understand how the Dutch missed that break. All they had to do was to have a rider sit on Chabbey's wheel at all times.

 

[yaco]

I expect sprinter types in the men's race to make the final. It's not an overly onerous course.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

After the expected Chabbey attack, we get the predictable Niewiadoma attempt.

3rd or 4th one?

 

[DNP-Old]

Thus far the course hasn't been able to erase the doubts I had about it when the Dutch NC were held here.

 

[Didinho]

Balsamo strong. First time in the front.

Gonna be a good sprint between Wiebes, Lippert and Kopecky.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Sad finish to Balsamo's race.
The way things gave gone, I don't think anyone will be able to beat Kopecky in the end.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Balsamo Oh!

 

[DNP-Old]

That's the race done then.

 

[Didinho]

Another SD-Worx with a champ jersey.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Brave move from Reusser

 

[ManicJack]

Terrible race

 

[TourOfSardinia]

TeamNL 1 2

 

[Red Rick]

The Dutch win, despite their worst efforts at the end.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Another SD Worx 1-2-3.

But on the plus side, Bredewold hung on, because otherwise it was Wiebes or Kopecky.
