Mar 27 2011: Gent - Wevelgem 210km

[Jamsque]

Farrar had a clear run but not enough speed.

Greipel was once again really fast but started from way too far back.

 

[luckyboy]

Greipel could've had that if he was in a better position to start the sprint.

Great race by Sky, Leaky and QS.

Boonen!!!!

awesome

how did offredo crash?

I don't know, but whoever did it must be destroyed. Offredo is the great hope, and must be protected at all cost.

 

[The Hitch]

I was ready to say that Boonen is past it, if he didnt start producing.

Thankfully, he proved me wrong today. Hope to see him take it to the Canc next 2 weeks.

Stannard didn't deserve to win...that was a lame move.

happens too much.

 

[TRDean]

Congrats to Boonen...he won't wind the Ronde...but I do think he will win PR.

 

[hrotha]

Offredo a bit too eager, it seems. He should calm down a little.
(PS I still love him)

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

How??????????

probably the fact he was reluctant to hit the front.
but he did ok.

wish chav won

 

[mombus]

I didn't really want Boonen to take it, but what a sprint! He started all-out pretty early. He's still got it.

Why was it?

Even I was ready to say that.

I think we can also put to rest that Boonen is no longer a sprinter. He still is one of the best sprinters. Although obviously no Cavendish.

Boonen if he wants to is certainly in the top 5 of current sprinters.

 

[Hairy Wheels]

How??????????

If you watched...you would have saw him sandbagging on the turns....maybe you were blinded by the Union Jack?

Thought it was a classic racing move.

not to sure about that. he is good in the right circumstances.

 

[Parrulo]

great lead out by gert.

maybe with gert back we see a bit of sprinter boonen back? or is that completely past him?

 

[auscyclefan94]

i didnt see him sandbagging and even so, it was a brave daring attack!

 

[luckyboy]

Aw you could see Offredo trying to break/swerve some **** stood in the road

Right after the finish line two guys stood there on the right hand side.

 

[sublimit]

Haha.. there's always one.

Again...just need to watch...it's all there....
