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

[Bakhjulet]

Oh my good! Stannard takes it. Never thought that.

Good to see EBH showing some good form.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

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

Although sad to see GVA yet again miss out on the win.

The only thing that can be said.

 

[hfer07]

wo,wo,wo,wo,wo-----Stannard!!!

Stunner

 

[RedheadDane]

I thought a potato could beat stannard

That's the thing about cycling: Expect the unexpected, coz nothing's better than WTF results.

 

[ferryman]

Well done Stannard. Sky are now ticking all the boxes it seems.

 

[the asian]

Lol GVA

Can't even beat Stannard in a sprint.

Guys destined to be a loser.

 

[Netserk]

GVA the new Hoste?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Perhaps the dawning realisation of what EBH was going to do to him in the team bus gave Stannard a bit of extra incentive in the sprint.

 

[trevim]

Lol, facepalm to everyone calling out Stannard

95 out of 100 times he won't win riding like he did. Maybe that's why he doesn't have a lot of victories in his career despite his talent.

 

[MatParker117]

Took it by half a bike length.

 

[scholar]

Let me fix that for you:

Can't even beat Stannard in a sprint after Stannard's done 90% of the work in the break.

 

[Netserk]

Took it by half a bike length.

Less than half a wheel....

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

GVA the new Hoste?

He's even more talented than Hoste, but might end up with the same palmares...

 

[winkybiker]

That's the thing about cycling: Expect the unexpected, coz nothing's better than WTF results.

Not for me. I like to see favourites crush the opposition. I really don't like underdog victories. Well-deserved win for Stannard, though.

 

[pastronef]

great great race. and beautiful win for Stan!
EBH in form too

 

[Arredondo]

GVA the new Hoste?

That's a insult to Hoste

 

[the asian]

Well, perhaps if Race Radios are banned in PR and Ronde Sky might have a chance there too.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Crossed the line at 10km/h faster than Stannard. How is this possible...

 

[scholar]

Not for me. I like to see favourites crush the opposition. I really don't like underdog victories. Well-deserved win for Stannard, though.

Sort of deserved. Deserved for his power and determination. Not deserved for his tactics.

But still, chapeau.

 

[postmanhat]

Stannard wins Omloop

Frankly, I don't care what happens for the rest of the season now

 

[Afrank]

Great day of racing, seemed like we had action of some kind the whole race. The racing season has started! Now to celebrate my 21st with 121 miles.

 

[Lexman]

Lol GVA

Can't even beat Stannard in a sprint.

Guys destined to be a loser.

indeed, what a chance to win something serious and agian 2nd beaten by a nonsprinter...

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Stannard is lucky. If he had lost, EBH would prpbably steal Thors hammer from Hushovd and smack him in his face

 

[Netserk]

Cobbles >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Everything else.

 

[b.broadhurst]

This is the beginning of Sky's classics dominance

EBH for Flanders
Wiggo for Roubaix

LOL
