[Fetisoff]

Meersman, no?

Meersman!

 

[goggalor]

[roundabout]

Another boring uphill sprint.

 

[Parrulo]

wasn't this supposed to be a uphill finish?

nice win tho

 

[c&cfan]

what about valverde? what happened?

iSad.

 

[El Pistolero]

Meersman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's back, after all his problems... Getting second behind Gilbert at the Belgian nats wasn't a fluke

 

[Fetisoff]

Florencio went about 5 seconds too early for second day in a row

 

[c&cfan]

Meersman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hater's gonna hate...

 

[boomcie]

Boeya. Well done to Gianni!

 

[Lexman]

I see Meersman ending close again today, Lotto Belisol has De Clercq in the lead group so they don't have to work today, good move...

I suppose they change the personnel withe the stage to Mende : Meersman attacks so De Clercq can sit and wait....

What did i say a few hours ago...

Meersman wins !!

 

[jens_attacks]

i've seen the last 2 kms.valverde did a mistake there i think,gearing problem?
anyway meersman has awesome form and deserved it

 

[Beech Mtn]

what about valverde? what happened?

Movistar ran out of guys too soon.

 

[Oltean_RO]

what about valverde? what happened?

iSad.

[hfer07]

[goggalor]

Wiggins being weird again...

 

[Pippo_San]

[Beech Mtn]

Wiggo showing his PR acuity again, on the stationary bike, this time with a towel over his head. Great TV there.

Looks like he lost position in the melee. Ran out of team, Rojas didn't go fast enough, whatever.

60 people or so together at the end?

Rojas was stuck on the front for a long time, then he blew and Valv had no help from too far out.

 

[Mellow Velo]

No quite as tough a finish as we were led to believe by out illustrious commentators.
Oh look, Gerrans just finished.

Didn't he crash?

And let's be honest, it was always going to be about two time trials and Mende.

 

[theyoungest]

Westra third in a sprint. The Beast of Frisia is coming into form

 

[LaFlorecita]

Right...

I think Mende will be too much for him though..
