Omloop Het (Volk) Nieuwsblad - Feb 26th 2011

[Jamsque]

A sprint by two people who had little left.

They were both absolutely spent at the finish, great racing.

 

[Benotti69]

Hayman cleans up second, strong race by Sky but tinged with disappointment.

Flecha should have attacked him more, he nearly had Langeveld cracked the one time he attacked hard.

Flecha 2nd

Hayman 3rd

Good afternoons racing that, cheers to them both, its nice to get the euro racing going for the year.

Bring on the Donkey race!

 

[Race Radio]

Smart move to chop the corner by Seb.

 

[The Hitch]

[Moondance]

LEOPARD-TREK sprinting hard for 20th place. Very good day for them

Awesome! What a race.

And in the good CN Forum tradition of bringing up your own previous posts:

What a good day to be alive.

Langeveld FTW!

Hayman is the best wheelsucker I have ever seen. Poor Offredo...

 

[Jamsque]

Flecha 2nd

Hayman 3rd

Durr whoops.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

That sprint was so slow, I thought I'd be fluent in Dutch by the end of the race

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

LOL... yep, even looked like it. But yah, both really gassed.

His priviledge when a team mate is up the road. Thats Racing.

 

[Barrus]

Alright. If I were to say: "no Rabo on the podium". What would the consequences be?

ahem

Good race, with an exciting finishing sprint

Gutsy ride by both.

 

[Parrulo]

[sublimit]

he's not going to pace Offredo up to the front 2.

Hayman is the best wheelsucker I have ever seen. Poor Offredo...

Hayman can't assist in the chase of his own team mate. Nothing to do with wheelsucking.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Where did Degkenkolb finish?

Roughly 10th.

Are you stalking me?

 

[The Sheep]

ahem

Good race, with an exciting finishing sprint

1 Rabo + 2 ex-Rabo

 

[Moondance]

Where did Degkenkolb finish?

CQ has Degenkolb in 12th... So that points for me too.

Looked like Flech eased up slightly as Seb ran him into the barriers, couldn't recover.

 

[Dr. Maserati]

Awesome! What a race.

Haha..... great call!

Excellent racing - one of those situations where neither deserved to lose - but the smarter rider won the sprint.

 

[Barrus]

Also, I was amazed at how well Degenkolb kept going, I do think he has a fantastic future in the northern classics
