Hah, did Stannard take it? Awesome.

 

[MatParker117]

Ian Stannard takes it!!!

 

[Netserk]

What the **** just happened?!?!?

 

[burning]

How did that happen???

 

[RedheadDane]

Just wait a couple of minutes and you'll see it.

Did you just call GVA a potato?

 

[King Boonen]

What the...?!?!!?

 

[scholar]

Perhaps I'm being harsh, but I'd call that a case of power winning on in spite of bad tactics.

Still, props to Stannard.

 

[Silhouette]

Well that was unexpected.

 

[b.broadhurst]

Is this the beginning of Sky dominating classics as well as GT's?

 

[ianstannard]

I thought a potato could beat stannard

 

[jens_attacks]

sky 1-3 wow

this was kind of awesome
stannard 4 roubaix!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Magnificent race.

Stannard is indeed the man.

 

[Roude Leiw]

now who would have thought that Ian took it

 

[ChewbaccaD]

Stannard deserved that.

 

[Afrank]

Wow, Stannard beating GVA in a sprint, impressive. Deserved win for him.

Although sad to see GVA yet again miss out on the win. Looks like he didn't react fast enough when Stannard started his sprint.

 

[ILovecycling]

yeah!IAN wins ,deserved win,lot of strenght for the sprint he had

 

[will10]

Wow, I would've put the house on Greg in that 2-up sprint. Chapeau Stannard! I'll be starting the Roubaix rain dance early this year.

 

[trevim]

Is this the beginning of Sky dominating classics as well as GT's?

Yeah I think so, just like they did when Flecha won this same race.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Yes!! Stan you beauty!!! Great race. Eddy Boss 3rd too??

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Chapeau Stannard.

 

[TourOfTexas]

What the **** just happened?!?!?

Van Avermaet showed everyone, one again, that he is not a winner.

 

[BigMac]

Meh, crap result.

 

[Arredondo]

This is one of the best races for many many years

 

[Flamin]

Lol, facepalm to everyone calling out Stannard

 

[RiccoDinko]

GVA = Brides Maid
