That's Amsterdam... Over there they're over-the-top about anything.

You go to to the east of Groningen, where I'm from, you'll see some sobriety.

Wow, did I pay little attention in geography class... Tilburg to the east of Groningen?

Tilburg is where I live... I attend the University there.

My family is from Wedde and Winschoten.

Now we're talking. Wedde, never heard of it. As it should be, it's Groningen after all

About 10kms to the south-east of Winschoten. My mothers family lived on farms in the land around there.

I thought Holland hasn't been a country since the 16th Century.

Yeah, that's what you guys learn, that we're offended by the term "Holland". The truth is, we're not

He's trying something else... all that winning, it's getting old

 

[Moondance]

Yes... I think he was so surprised by winning for the third time this season that his brain just went haywire.

 

[L'arriviste]

Rai Uno Sport is now showing the race "as-live". Anyone got an unrestricted link yet?

 

[theyoungest]

The final few hundred meters
Quite an impressive sprint, if I may say so.

Actually, we don't even get taught there's a difference.

Many thanks. Now that the 'Gesink can't win,' 'Gesink is soft,' and 'Gesink can't sprint' myths are starting to die their natural deaths, we only have the 'Gesink can't descend' and 'Gesink can't handle a bike' myths to go.

Race to the sun....Paris-Nice got competition from Emilia.

Well done Robert.

 

[Kwibus]

What! Oh noes why did I miss this

 

[jens_attacks]

impressive sprint and impressive victory.kudos to him.

 

[The Hitch]

Its starting to look like the Angel population is coming under threat after all.

ANd nice to see 2 of my favs on podium. Scarponi because i always rated him when no one else did, and Martin because he won the Tour.

Well done for not including "Gesink cant TT" because that ISNT a myth.

But you forgot the "Gesink gets wings at 2000 altitude" or some such.

 

[Barrus]

So, I am allowed to do that?

Than, here goes

@ Hitch, I included an angel

(all right, I'm from just outside of Amsterdam, but I just wanted to do that)

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I came home, and see that Gesink won again, and in similar style as last year, a sprint with 3 What a hero

Can't wait to see the RAI footage of the finale
