offredo, gotta love the guy.

 

[Sasquatch]

predictions: catch in km? I'll say 11 km to go

I reckon he catches him with 8 to go.

 

[Beech Mtn]

lol i really need to learn dutch/flemish

There was a link to a Spanish feed way back earlier in the thread.

the 2.5k pave will show how strong langeveld is. If he loses a lo of time, he is not strong enough.

looks that way, that last pave could be decisive (I assume flecha and langeveld will hit it together).

 

[ak-zaaf]

Flecha is motoring!

Can langeveld sprint at all?

After 200km on cobbles in the rain?
Against Flecha?
Who knows?

 

[thirteen]

18"

who needs a radio when your team car is close?

vaya con dios!

 

[Moondance]

Flecha will blow past Langeveld. Game over.

These roads are a bloody disgrace. Loads of bits aren't tarmac'd or anything.

Belgium is backwards and the race organiser is negligent - why didn't they check this out beforehand?

this imo, is good

 

[Parrulo]

Yes, you do.

you are evil <_<
whats the race status? its hard to catch up when people don't speak a proper language

 

[Sasquatch]

Geez Langeveld is struggling. The gap is dropping quicker than Ricky Ponting's test average.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Too bad, heroic effort by Langeveld anyway..

 

[thirteen]

13"

..........

 

[palmerq]

great ride from flecha, hats off to him, him and langeveld have made this a really good race, 13 seconds now :S I think flecha will get him

 

[More Cowbell]

catch in sight...

 

[ingsve]

Before speculating on a sprint they need to first come to the finish together. The way Flecha is going I wouldn't be surprised if he simply went right past Langeveld.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Flecha will blow past Langeveld. Game over.

looks likely.

He is flying.

 

[Tyke1968]

Scratch Flecha from the KBK squad for tomorrow!
Great chase.
11 secs wow.

 

[sublimit]

Langevelde is toast.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Langeveld looked reasonable so he might be saving energy knowing that Flecha is coming across

 

[Sasquatch]

Any more pave?

 

[The Hitch]

and yet langeveld attacking 20km earlier didn't get your appreciation?

I wasnt watching or paying attention then

But if Langeveld wins you wont love him? Hath he no balls either?

Yeah he has balls too. Good effort. But his attack wasnt as interesting as there was no one up the road. With Flecha i was thinking "this is BORING!!!" and then bam, when you least expects it.

Just as i thought Seb was out, Flecha PULLED him back in

 

[Sneekes]

yes, absolutely flying - he's got to try and blow Langeveld away

 

[Bala Verde]

pave always tells the truth. Langeveld not strong enough, at least in comparison to Flecha. He lost over 18s in 2.5k.

I wonder if he can stick with him when he catches him.
