Tylar Farrar i think 2

 

[CerveloFan]

That looked like Hushovd coming in 1:30 behind, I wonder what happened?

 

[Pedaaldanser]

Great win for Flecha he rode a fantastic race today, but did anyone pick him to win.

Boonen did

 

[maltiv]

almost a 1-2 for team sky, but EBH started his sprint way too early. anyway, great victory by flecha!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Haussler and Farrar eat Hagen Daz on the line.

 

[zapata]

Hushovd tired himself working for Haussler, leading the chase for a while.

WOOT here come the rabo boys

Boonen looked pretty angry...

 

[Moondance]

Anyway, some things to take home for the future:

-Sky's classics team is as good as was expected
-QS on the whole doesn't have the form they had last year
-Gilbert is human
-Belgian TV have hired the director from Cloverfield to do their camerawork

Worryingly for the other teams, Boonen, Gilbert, Haussler etc all did a lot of work today.. EbH did next to nothing, just sat in wheels all day.

Hes going to be tough to beat tommorow.

Probably just tired from illness and doing alot of work in the peloton.

asif he can. P-R last year was handed to him on a platter thanks to flecha

Hushovd has been out with a cold for the last couple days/weeks and was working for Haussler all day. Led the Cervelo chace in the chasing group for miles.

Classy interview from Flecha after an impressive ride.

 

[aarnold517]

i have to say i love the unpredictable nature of the classics. one minute nuyens is looking like the strongest the next he is completely out of the race...that said, great win by flecha (loved getting to see his bow salute again)...i feel bad for guesdon he was up in front for so long and gets nothing out of it but i guess thats just the nature of the classics...all in all great start to the greatest time in the cycling year

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]
