EBH: "I was feeling great, but was too far back in the peloton"

Awesome job Sky. Really.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

What a great race!!!
Dang!
Great job Gerrans and Canc

 

[Marco Pantani]

Super ride from the superman, pity he fell short.

 

[spalco]

Hats off to Nibali too btw. At least he tried.

 

[Richeypen]

So much hate for Pozzato last year for wheel sucking. Wonder if Gerrans will get the same sort of hate. That ending has really ****ed me off, new rider for my dislike list now.

 

[happychappy]

Oh, no. Here come the 'wheelsucking' comments..

Yes, it was an amzing piece of wheelsucking.

 

[dlwssonic]

Gilbert could have won easily today.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Grandissima generosita de Cancellara.

Well said by the RAI announcers.

 

[Panda Claws]

Two stupid winners in a row. BMC really can't seem to do anything in the classics without Gilbert.

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Gerrans had no option but to suck wheel Could just manage to hold canc from riding off Well done

 

[Benotti69]

Boonen treating his venge with lots of respect in the finish....ouch!

 

[dlwssonic]

At least in the cobbles and hills people EARN their wins.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Wow, Gerrans finally actually justifies the hype. Ever since 2009 he's been talked up as a potential winner of nearly everything, and always managed to ride completely anonymously. He used to be a great attacking stagehunter, and I really felt he'd lost that instinct, instead relying on staying in the bunch until the last.

This time, he had the guts to work out the move to go with, and remembered how good he had been tactically back in '08 and '09, but with the strength he's had in 2012. Great win. Not the most inspiring, but a great win nonetheless.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

hope Boonen's ok

 

[Frosty]

EBH was stuck in the middle towards the back of the main group. This meant that he couldnt react quick enough when the power went on.

 

[FabulousCandelabra]

Don't understand Liquigas tactics.. In what world does Nibali win this race? Their mentality is stupid, just support Sagan already, gah, what a waste.

 

[Benotti69]

Two stupid winners in a row. BMC really can't seem to do anything in the classics without Gilbert.

What is stupid? He won, he was there at the end and rode a smart race.

Nowt stupid about that.

 

[Frosty]

hope Boonen's ok

Is that who crashed in the background?

 

[DominicDecoco]

Yes, it was an amzing piece of wheelsucking.

What don't you get? Had it been anyone else than Fabi in front that group would have been eaten by the peloton.

 

[Cancellator]

Was there nothing Cancellara could have done to get the other two in the break to work?

Biggest fail by Nib, no work and still only comes third, at least Gerrans won.

 

[Panda Claws]

What is stupid? He won, he was there at the end and rode a smart race.

Nowt stupid about that.

I don't like the winners. I am not complaining about the race they rode.

 

[dlwssonic]

Damn GVA crashed too hope its not bad! GVA, Gilbert both crashed, unlucky race for BMC.

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Don't understand Liquigas tactics.. In what world does Nibali win this race? Their mentality is stupid, just support Sagan already, gah, what a waste.

Yeah, think that if they'd taken the shackles off sagan he'd have won this

 

[Trofinios]

Nibali had nothing in the end. Next year 100% for Sagan, anything else must be considered stupid when you have him on the team.
