Gent-Wevelgem 24th March 2013

[afpm90]

Who are BMC riding for? Since they don't seem to be sparing Gilbert...

Hushovd maybe?

 

[thehog]

No gloves!!!

 

[Shardi]

Gilbert shedding the extra weight ahead of more important races by pulling some?

 

[maltiv]

With the last 30 km being headwind it's hard to look past a sprint finish at this point, despite the tough start.

 

[Hawkwood]

No gloves!!!

You mean Gilbert? I know and it's freezing out there. I live 150 kms from Wevelgem on the other side of the Channel. I was out earlier and couldn't feel my fingers and that was with Sealskinz gloves on!

No gloves!!!

absolutely insane, non?

 

[burning]

Gilbert goes

 

[thirteen]

Gilbert goes

he needs to thaw out his fingers before frostbite sets in

Is it a joke that Sagan will chase or the splits by himself,isn't it?

I've a sneaky feeling Phinney fancies doing something here.

 

[Lexman]

Geraint Thomas & Fabian Cancellara abandon

 

[Roude Leiw]

G. Thomas and Cance just quit

Stop talking **** he was on the front for about 15 seconds.

 

[the asian]

Good to see Breschel up there. He was pretty anonymous in the previous races. Hope he finds some form for the Ronde.

 

[the asian]

Fabs and Thomas saving things up for Ronde

 

[xrayvision]

absolutely insane, non?

Came in 30 min ago from a ride, hands are numb. insane indeed.

I think he's in HTFU mode.

Fabs and Thomas saving things up for Ronde

That is really bizarre.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Boonen fallen and injured?

 

[spalco]

Oh no. Boonen doesn't look well.

 

[thirteen]

Boonen chute! f***!

 

[ILovecycling]

Nooo Tom!!!

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

Tommeke on his 'poepgat'.

 

[burning]

Boonen hit the deck, looks like the race is over for him
