Kuurne- Brussels-Kuurne

[mr. tibbs]

......dreaming of PR in this sort of weather.....

I bet Pippo & Boonen would tough it out then.

Stans gonna go for it at 8k, and the cloggies are just gonna look at each other wondering whos gonna chase..

Belgian commentary team said a little while ago that Stannard was pushing the highest gear out of all three, which is never a good sign.

Traksel looks remarkably good. I hope he takes it. He's been fighting in the peleton for years now without many results. Would be the highlight of his career. Stannard has plenty of good years ahead of him, and given that he rides for the best cycling team in history I'm sure the big wins will come for him in the future. Let the old man have his day of glory.

The kms are ticking down slower and slower. It's going to be a long, long 16kms.

 

[Bala Verde]

Head wind on the finish. Difficult sprint, don't start too early.

The Sky kid is gassed. Pedaling Squares.

 

[Cosette]

Bobby's injuries since 2000 till 2010

And it is quite an impressive list as well...
How did he manage to do all that?

One lap to go...

 

[Big GMaC]

Say what? Are you watching the race at all?

over lagging glitching commie internet in flemish. not always clear

 

[Ripper]

Me thinks the combination of still suffering from the after effects of his cold, and riding in a seriously sh*t day, have helped Thor bonk. When you begin to die in weather like today's, you blow big time. He must just be miserable!

Gotta say I'm rooting for Traksel!! Like the smaller teams kicking it with the "big boys".

Traksel's legs appear better than his hands/fingers.

 

[Cosette]

Roulston has just been dubbed brave.

I agree with that. Hasn´t lost much time on the three leaders recently...

 

[ak-zaaf]

How did he manage to do all that?

Let's just say that if you would put 1000 people together with Bobbie somewhere in there and let Stevie Wonder fire a gun into the crowd, Bobbie will probably catch the bullet.

Credit to thor.. a lot of riders would have pulled over by now and gone for a shower..

 

[Bala Verde]

Judgment day. They are all in trouble now. Stennard moving sideways on his saddle, Traksel can't shift his gears, Flens with a bad grimace...

 

[Sneekes]

Was just about to say that re:Thor.

Great attitude and respect for the race

 

[TRDean]

Thor is a warrior!!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

they are all warriors !

 

[Bala Verde]

1km according to Dim...

but he picked the wrong guy...

Flens a good TT

 

[Anonymous]

I think Traksel wins. He's on top of his pedals.

 

[Anonymous]

Okay, they need to open the results thread back up and see who gets the order of these 3 right because I am fairly certain nobody called this one.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Go Flens. Now it's up to that Brit.

 

[Potomac]

fire works.

 

[Anonymous]

Sneaky cloggie making a run for it

at least we know stan has the legs

 

[Publicus]

Wow! Where did he get the energy to do that?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Flens! Go son!!
