Kuurne- Brussels-Kuurne

[Bala Verde]

can anyone who speaks flemish tell me why they were talking about Ferrari?

He won a race (chiuso? or something) on a colnago

 

[Moondance]

i dont think it will be a sprint.

If anyone still has the legs to attack they'll take it. But it's about 25k to go, it'll be torture. I really can't see one of the front three still having the mettle when the line approaches.

Ouch, Traksel's hands are numb. I hate when that happens.

Why did they sound the bell going into the lap? Just one more lap? Says 2 more on the screen?

Stannard seems to be easing up.. dunno if hes knackered, or resting... He may have to go for it, he wont fancy the odds with two dutchmen..

 

[Potomac]

What was that flailing about?

I heard that as well.. ,have they cut a lap?

Don't forget, they're Belgians. They're not known for their mathematical prowess

hmmm, maybe that was the flailing I just asked about.

 

[Francois the Postman]

I wondered the same, but Sporza just said that they were flagged very clearly by the guy in charge of updating the big "rounds to go board" that it is indeed 2 rounds left.

Looks like the second chase group has been torn apart as well...

 

[Publicus]

I think whatever happens today, obviously i hope stannard wins, but whatever happens i hope the winner comes from those three, and whoever wins, even if its huschovd they deserve it.. real tough guys race today..

+100. I hope one of the front 3, or front 5 (face it if Hushovd can close the gap, that's pretty dam impressive) wins. It would be a pity if none of them could hold on.

I don't think G1 is coming back...

I think we can pretty safely say that the winner will come from those 5. Closest followers are about 4 minutes behind, and haven't been coming closer at all.

 

[Francois the Postman]

After all this the top 3 deserve to be knighted, never mind share the podium amongst them.

 

[Ripper]

Wow, the chasers have really not eaten into the gap, which still hovers around 40+ seconds. Tough men today!!

 

[Anonymous]

Brutal for G2 to see G1 just up the road and not able to get across.

 

[Bala Verde]

Hushovd is empty

That means it will become increasingly difficult for Roulston to bridge the gap. Let's see what happens

 

[Cosette]

Hushovd is cracking as well?

 

[Moondance]

Yep. Hushovd seems down for the count. Roulston can't do it himself. Traksel, Stannard and Flens look to be in the clear.

 

[Potomac]

is thor falling away?

 

[krebs303]

Thor giving up?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Thor's shut down.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Hushovd remembered where he was, felt his legs, and his stomuch.

It was driving through and then cycling away from the chips smell in Kuurne that did it, I think.

Gone.

 

[Publicus]

It won't be Hushovd. He still gets props from me--never seen guys in the front drop out of the race, which means he must have really laid it on the line. I can only imagine how empty he is right now.

Or is he going to give it a go?

Ok: why are they talking about AC?
