congrats Sky.

congrats Dim. Flecha is Argentinean correct?

 

[Moondance]

Just accept it.

Why?

Blah blah length requirements...

 

[ak-zaaf]

congrats Sky.

congrats Dim. Flecha is Argentinean correct?

Spanish, born in Argentina.

Was. Rides for Spain though.

 

[Potomac]

Pretty sorry stuff:

16:53 CET
It's a one-two for the British team, as Edvald Boasson Hagen takes seocnd place. The sky's the limit!

 

[sublimit]

He is one of the best when it comes to getting second places, at least

His team isnt up to it, Cavendish respects him and looks out for him. i see him getting plenty of seconds but some more wins this year.

 

[Bala Verde]

Farrar lives in belgium, doesn't he? That's got to be an advantage in these races, and I think I remember him saying RvV is his favourite race? Could remember that wrong, but I think it was in procycling magazine last year. Don't know that he'll ever win it, but he does seem to be suited to cobbles.

I think in some pre-post race interviews he professed his love for the Belgian Classics, in flemish.

 

[hfer07]

at last!!!! FLECHA!!!!!-endless congrats to him-well deserved victory and a big one for Sky team-this is an enormous boost for the coming classic!
I must say BMC is the big looser of the day-very disappointing.

 

[Anonymous]

Farrar the only one doing the interview in flemish. That will win him some fans.

 

[Race Radio]

Tyler rocking the Flemish on the post race.

He is coming into form. Hope he can sprint after 280km

Spanish, born in Argentina.

no, dont think so.

Ask Dim.

He has to be Argentinean.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Ask Dim.

Juan Antonio Flecha Giannoni (born September 17, 1977 in Junín, Buenos Aires) is an Argentine-born Spanish professional road bicycle racer for the UCI ProTour team Team Sky.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Great set of post-race interviews on Sporza by all the race names, still.

Haussler not sure if he will race tomorrow, knee playing up.

 

[Race Radio]

Dim, hope you did not miss the Post race. they have EBH now and Scott is coming on next

Indeed, good job Sporza. Btw Haussler was not disappointed but actually very happy with his second place. Especially considering his injury and current form. And his goal is to win a classic in the next 8-10 years.

but ask Dim, about his opinions on Spanish cyclists. Surely Antonio cant be Spanish. It would ruin the purity of Team Sky.

Purity of team SKY? I thought it was Brailsford's pet project. Can't have purity then.

j/k, we all know he's a yank.

Gilbert doing the same just now... oh, wait

 

[ak-zaaf]

Gilbert doing the same just now... oh, wait

Farrar's Flemish is way better than Gilberts

 

[sandman]

On another note; I really hope Ferrar gets some wins this season. Always coming so close has to suck and I like his personality as opposed to Cavendesh.

 

[Francois the Postman]

OK, you win the smart-pants of the day.

Omloop - and now 'Neighbours'. Sporza is a great channel!

 

[maltiv]

Biggest disappointment today has to be BMC, with such a strong team one would expect team to at least animate the race somehow.

That's because Sporza isn't a channel, but a program.
