Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne, 27 Feb 2011

They just showed it again. Farrar had to go left, but there was only barely enough room. Sutton did sort of fake-start his sprint to the left before launching a moment later, which caused Farrar to hesitate.I wouldn't say it was dangerous, Farrar might feel differently.

i guess i can take that.

Good leadout by Hagen, will Farrar contest that though - you could say he was blocked.

Sky on the front MUCH too early yet again.

no surprises there!

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

from the post race interview w/ Sutton... nice kid that Sutton.
Good for him.

Wow

Is Flecha taking over from Jens as the hard man of the peloton?

 

[Parrulo]

I have 40pp. Wouldn't change it for all the whisky in Scotland.

doesn't it gets annoying to scroll with 30 posts? i mean people keep posting so you have to refresh/scroll very often

 

[Sasquatch]

WTF!!!

"Is this the biggest win of your career?"

"Its one of the biggest year. I won a stage at the Tour Down Under, so this is one of the biggest"

lol!!!!!!!!!!

Class act by Edvald to lead out Sutton today, without sounding too much like a fanboy I think Edvald could've won himself. Flecha was just incredible, think that's the longest pull on the front in the final kilometers I've ever seen!

Did they just say Yauheni was in the mix???

Careful.


I have always been a fan of his and that is the only reason I am pleased with his 2nd.

Ahem.

Doubt he will protest. Didn't look annoyed in the slightest. It was just a sprinting incident, no malice whatsoever.

 

[El Pistolero]

Pat Macidiot on Sporza now.

Not even a little.

i guess i will have to try it out.

there is only one Jens!!!

thats good, always better when the winner isn't decided after the race

 

[hrotha]

Once again Greipel fails to deliver.

If only he could teach that attitude to his illustrious new teammate.

 

[Jamsque]

There is only one Jens, true, but he is getting a bit too old for his trademark strong-man antics to be as frequent as they used to be.

Can't remember who but I think at the TDF, someone did a massive turn at the front. May have been someone from the HTC train.

Sky really shows that they have a very good classics team. A win today and 10 cm from a win yesterday and they have had someone featured in pretty much every dangerous break that has gone so far.

took me a year to find out you could change it

40pp is way better

During TDU Mathew Hayman did a superlong and strong turn on the final stage where Swift won.

Rumor is that Garmin - Cervelo will merge with Quickstep next year.
They'll have one of the strongest classics teams on paper.

Let me note that this was exactly the same last year. Sky owned January and February, only to disappear for much of March and April. I even started a thread about it last year.

So when are this all dominating Garmin Cervelo classics team racing
