Gent-Wevelgem 24th March 2013

I really hope Boonen's ok, but it has to be said, that this was a really stupid mistake.

Ever ridden in a group of 60 on Belgian roads?

The peloton thinned quite a bit, did Cav made the split?

Looked like he simply hit the kerb with the side of his wheel? Or accidentally unclipped or something.

Nice from Boonen,I dont understand Cancellara though

No, and I might well crash like that, but I'm not a pro cyclist with a decade of experience of riding in a group on roads like that.

Boom no chance after his flat tire. But the rest of Blanco has dissapeared into thin air as well. They do their name right, in the big races it's blanco for Blanco

Yep - he's not in the chase group

Think he's coming back to the front. Wasn't a big gap.

 

[Cancellator]

Bizzare day today - Cancellara abbandons and Andy is in the break!

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

He wasnt riding in a group. He was on the bike path. Boonen says he was pushed, repayment by Lars Boom?

 

[Museeuw]

Glad Boonen isn't seriously injured, but what's the point of riding on? Surely he should better try to recover.

Also Cancellara abbandoned wtf? What happened? Hard to see past Sagan now.

Train for Ronde and P-R. It's right move to keep going.

Boonen says he was pushed,

If true, that is disgusting sportsmanship.

he abandoned

Bit of a moot point since he pulled out anyway, but I once rode a hill climb after crashing and hurting my knee on the way to the start, and it took way longer for my knee to stop hurting that I would have liked, after that...

If true, that is disgusting sportsmanship.

No doubt Sky did it...

 

[max_powers]

no helpers sent back for Tomke, saved for Cav

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

If true, that is disgusting sportsmanship.

Me too thinks what Boonen did on Boom was not nice.

 

[Der Effe]

Me too thinks what Boonen did on Boom was not nice.

What happened?

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Sending Stejn no sprint in to the group is a completely pointless gesture for OPQS.

 

[UselessToo]

winning move

Every sport demands sportsmanship.
