Gent-Wevelgem 2012

[Highlander]

I'll be surprised if that second group comes back

I thought that at first as well, but the second group looks a lot more motivated. I don't really understand GreenEdge's tactics because they turn on the gas at times, but then don't really push the pace which gives others the chance to catch back on.

Second group has rejoined the main chase.

lol rabo got caught in the second group again.

 

[meat puppet]

Yeah, it's tough loving Rabo. Makes it worthwhile anytime they pull something off, tho. Like twice a season at most.

There was about 5 of them in the front group actually

Hope OPQS turn it up on the cobbled hills.

Gilbert dropped yet??

Gent-Wevelgem is easier than E3. He won't drop.

 

[spalco]

Greenedge is doing a lot of work, comfy day for Sky so far I suppose.

He might on one of the climbs

I just tuned in after Catalunya and see a huge peloton

So I guess I missed the fun part?

it would be impossible to stay awake watching this without a huge load of coffee

on CN twitter it says Phil has already been caught being in a 3rd group on the road...he has no chance at all in de Ronde.

I thought the two groups joined together.

Phil should still be in the peleton. Belgian television would have certainly showed him being dropped?

Then why keep watching it?

 

[Rocksteady]

Finally Farrar is where he needs to be. This is the classic I give him the best chance in.

 

[Highlander]

I don't really care who wins this race as long as it isn't a rider from GreenEdge. I just can't understand their tactics because they like to push the pace and then slow it down and block the front to make sure that no one else can attack. I'm really hoping that another team decides to take control of this race and drops all of the GE boys on the next climb.
