Spider Tech takes up the front. Interesting... I hope they can do something.

 

[Jamsque]

De Haes was skipping some turns, and now he's gone solo just as the break were about to be caught.

 

[Granville57]

8K remaining. Leaders still have about 10 seconds...

me too. After the way they went about getting their pro conti licence all quietly i think they deserve a bit of success.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Kenny de Haes proves he's no Phil Gil.

 

[Moondance]

Interesting. Rabobank tried to be the big shots all course, and now it's biting them in the azz in a big way.

EDIT: They heard me... Now the last remnants of Rabobank are assembling themselves.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Rambo ready to rumble?

I see 2 riders in the first 50 or so...

 

[Jamsque]

Split in the peloton inside 2km to go!

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Steegmans!

 

[Ferminal]

Wow Gert... and Brownie 3rd.

 

[Captain_Cavman]

Can't get a feed. Am inwardly cheering on An Post.

 

[Jamsque]

Steegmans! Maybe he isn't as rubbish as I thought.

Brown 3rd, Kerkalerka 4th.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Steegmans eh?
Jens K finally picks up double figure CQ points.................just.

Steegmans! Maybe he isn't as rubbish as I thought.

Brown 3rd, Kerkalerka 4th.

That's why I call Keukeleire Jens K!

 

[Moondance]

Steegmans... Powerful. Why has he sucked so much the last few years?

Also, CQ points for me with this results!

 

[superconfex]

steeg the man

 

[Granville57]

Steegmens...from a long way out!

 

[Granville57]

Big jump and he held them to a bike length

 

[Ferminal]

That's what Gert does best, and pretty much the only way he can win a sprint these days.

You haven't seen Team America, I gather?

Rabo brought three sprinters, and went with the slowest

(I know Brown has won here before, but he's really going backwards in sprints since 2 years)

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Not only these days.
same goes for his 2 tour victories...

 

[Granville57]

Wow, all the sprinters were really strung out from that overhead. Not even close at the line.

 

[Jamsque]

Keukeleire, Kerkalerka, Kooky-looky, ****-a-Leekie (word filter!)

 

[roundabout]

Despite his history Van Dijk should be riding for a bigger team

Why? There are a lot of riders racing at WorldTour level who are worse than him (half of BMC springs to mind), but here he is the undisputed leader in races he can win.
