Meh...

Only MSR left for Gilbert. Incredible career.

 

[Hayabusa]

Congratulations to Gilbert, well deserved.

 

[Salvarani]

Gilbert

Well deserved

What a win!

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Meh.

Congratulations to Politt for a great race though.

And I guess Gilbert winning was less worse than Lampaert winning

 

[TomLPC]

Phil riding liege?

 

[jaylew]

Politt so strong

 

[Kwibus]

Gilbert, cycling legend.

Re:

I am not sure about Kristoff.

He started nine times. His best results are 9th and 10th. In 2013 he won Flanders in a great way, De Panne, Scheldeprijs and got second in Sanremo. Was super strong that year and the top favorite for Roubaix. Still he was never able to perform at his best on those cobbles. Also crashed a lot, if I remember correctly. So I can't make him a top favorite.

Politt will be very strong, I am sure about that. And he loves Roubaix, also does Dege.

I have some kind of a feeling, that Philippe Gilbert tried to duck any kind of attention before that race. He could surprise us.

It's really good and interesting, that we don't have a team or a rider like Fabian/Tommeke super strong. It's really open right now.

Surprise.

Sagan doesn't give a *** about 4th

 

[Bolder]

2 strongest guys at the end, as it should be, although WVA probably expended more energy.

 

[glassmoon]

Still one to go

 

[Screecher]

Nice win for Gilbert, but San Remo will be pretty much impossible to win for him imo.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Strongest man won, but a great ride in defeat by Politt.

 

[Gigs_98]

Unbelievable, 4 done, 1 to go

Re:

Maybe he would if he could

 

[Mayomaniac]

What a race, wow!

 

[PremierAndrew]

Nice win for Gilbert, but San Remo will be pretty much imposibble to win for him imo.

While I agree, that's what they said about him on the cobbles too

 

[Andy262]

Delighted for Gilbert, strongest riders on the day filled the podium.

Wasn't the most exciting P-R but still a worthy winner.

 

[jsem94]

First rider since Sean Kelly (1986) to record wins in 4 different monuments.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Delko-Marseille with a top-10 finish. Unbelievable.

 

[sir fly]

Chapeau, Phill!
Saved the cobbled season for Belgians and made 4/5 in Monuments.
Congrats to Politt and the rest of the decisive breakaway.

I think I'll get myself a Chimay... and some domestic lager... to get tipsy later in the evening watching a rerun.

Fantastic race!

 

[Laplaz]

Great race by Nils Politt. I'm quite sure he will win this race in the future.

 

[Simurgh]

Who is this Siscevicius guy from Delko who finished 8th? Either way, that result has probably made the year for Delko

 

[glassmoon]

Sep 9th?
WTF?
