Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 2014, 1 March, 198km, 1.HC

[Flamin]

This is high level russian roulette right there. If Vanmarcke and Terpstra decide to sit up, Sky is screwed.

 

[GuyIncognito]

stannard braveheart but he will lose it 🙁

Protip - if you want people to like Stannard (as if anyone doesn't already), don't link him to Mel Gibson

 

[Parrulo]

I had forgotten how ****ty live streams usually are 😱

 

[EnacheV]

if EBH doesn't win this ... seems like shooting fish in a barrel

 

[ILovecycling]

its a shame group 3 havent chase harder...still a great race tho🙂
hopefully stannard can pull off the win

 

[Bakhjulet]

My good if Sky ****s this one up.

 

[Sleimas]

The longer the chase goes the more tired Vanmarcke and Trepstra will be. Stannard needs to let them catch, but as late as possible.

Found one with no breaks or freezes

Phinney is disappointing. This should be his race.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

If GVA wins, we will be talking about Sky's tactics for a long time

 

[Arredondo]

Phinney is disappointing. This should be his race.

And why is that?

 

[jens_attacks]

sky will take places 2 and 3 looks like

 

[Netserk]

Stop pulling Stannard you ****ing ***!!!!

 

[postmanhat]

I know GVA will beat him. But C'mon Stannard!

 

[scholar]

If they keep riding like this in the classics I might actually start taking a like to Sky.

 

[ferryman]

EBH buying Stannard lots of drinks tonight😉

 

[Afrank]

Phinney is disappointing. This should be his race.

Not much he can do is there? Got a teammate up front and his group sat up a while back. Best he can do is go for the sprint in his group.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

When was the last time QS won here?....

Never liked that. You don't fold the first hand when you have a full house, just because its the first hand. Play to win the game

Question was as much about OPQS as it was about sky and BMC.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

wtf is stannard doing. 3k and 15 seconds. He needs to stop pulling!

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Dont think it is humanyl possible for Stannard not to give everything in the front 😀

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Stannard probably doesn't even know that EBH is in the chase group.

 

[scholar]

14". The gap's growing? Stannard's clearly pulling too hard, as well as too much.

 

[EnacheV]

why is Stannard pulling ?!

 

[RedheadDane]

A potato is likely to win a sprint against Stannard

Now there's a sprint I'd love to see!

Anyway; back to the race! 😀

 

[spalco]

The front two are gaining. Might be over.
