My heart rate went up, felt excited and thrilled in the race, love the winner, and am very content right now. In before someone comes in claiming there wasn't enough action. 10! :)

Edit: just noticed how you can't vote lower then a 9! Nice one Marco Pantani! :D

Probably the most exciting edition of RVV for many many years combined with the perfect winner. 10 right away

8.2 for me. Great race, from 45 k to go. Lots of different scenario's in the finale

The crashes ruined it a bit for me. OPQS and Sagan were a little underwhelming. And I would've preferred Big Stijn or GVA to win :) But I agree that the last 40-50k were good.

Please, do tell :D

I am a little ****-hurt too because Styby was again disappointing.

Basically, Cancellara was the one I did not want to see taking the win. Near the end I was rooting for GVA, and Baam!. Second after Fabian.

I don't like dominant teams and riders. I'm a procycling hipster.

The crashes were bad. But not to mean it harsh, there weren't big favorites involved (except of Devolder and maybe Roelandts). I mean, when Cancellara crashed in 2012, that really sucked, because that really changed the dynamic of the race.

True. If I was to vote taking the actual race into account I'd give it a 8/8.5.

Not more than 6 for me. Pathetic racing by the only team that could make it great.

s¨¨y ride by OPQS, they had the numbers to break open the race but didn't do it...

To many riders crashed

Vanmarcke outwitted once more

GVA once more second...

Voted 9, disappointed of the Steppers, put the wrong man with GVA, missed Kristoffs attack etc.

Very tight and interesting race, would make my top 5 of flanders of the last 20 years!

10! Great Race!

Plenty of action in the final 50km and a nail biter until the very end. Congrats Cancellara, I thought he was beat multiple times.

Voted 9.9 so I mean that it's an 9. Just next time stick to the normal 1 to 10, because this poll can't be taken serious as people that want to give it a lower rating than a 9 will probably give it a 9.

While im sure you meant it as a joke and we should see the 9.6 as an 6. Reality will probably be that its a messed up poll.

Not that its very important though :)

This is the prime example why this poll is crap. Someone gives it a 9 because he really enjoyed the race, but in the end the vote went to the lowest result possible.

The race was epic. My hands got all shaky and my heart was beating like a maniac.
