Roelandts was apparently hit by a car from the race organisation while changing his wheel...:eek:

Fell on his head and was unable to continue...

bad luck for Roelandts again after E3, hope it stops the coming weeks

Nice. :eek:. From now on when I want from somebody to do something insane to succeed the great way I´ll say: make Sagan

Man, that guy has a lot of bad luck. He's been so strong this year, but hasn't got any results out of it at all :(

Yikes, I wondered where he'd gone.

Great win. Just a well timed attack against a tired, depleted field. Kind of reminded me of classics of the past, with the bad weather and all.

i loved the wheelie


I loved it too, but he himself wasn't satisfied. He said he was too tired to do it properly :D

Overall I like him very much, funny and nice guy doing great and with joy. I don't think he's disrespecting anybody with his celebrations. Lot of jealous people around, if you ask me.

Second wheelie better than first, but camera angle not as good.

I agree though. Just a kid having fun.

Bozic seems to be in the form of his life atm

Yes, and if he would have at least two brain cells maybe he would get some results also. Form without results is nothing.

Deserved first Classic for Sagan.
It came to him easier than I've expected. No Cav, Greipel, Boonen, Cancellara, etc. besides him in the winning break. Pyrrhic victory in sense of psychological warfare before De Ronde. Cancellara's E3 triumph is overshadowing this one.

More like a Boonen ;)

A 'Boonen': Crashing only by your own mistake, gently touching the side of the road and gracefully abandoning a few kilometers later, after first having greeted the crowd, and your fans along the road. :eek: (that 2005 attack was great though)

The crash looked bad though... I hope he still has a chance to defend his titles properly, but riding De Panne to get extra racing would mean leading out Cavendish. And we know he hates that, or will he just drop out of the peloton like in Paris-Nice?

Yeah, he should have lost that would have been much better for him in sense of psychological warfare

Pyrrhic victory? WTF. Exact opposite. This is huge win - psychologicly. Stopping beeing Mr. 2 will give him the wings. It is gonna be really hard for anybody to stop him now.

It doesn't matter after the blow he received on Friday, that's the point, if I have to point it out already, 'cause I see you can't get it and prefer biting over the courteous discussion.

Semi classic win after Spartacus left him for dead 35km from the finish a few days ago, he won't win a monument this season, he wasted his best chance in MSR by being a fool.

Off course. It would be surprising to read something else from a Slovak fan.

I think it would be surprising for anybody who understand the phraze Pyrrhic victory and realize that this was Peterś first classic :D

You right. He was fool. But he learns very fast. That reminds me how he was fooled in Tour de Suisse and his first win in the Tour. :D
