Scheldeprijs, 204km, 1.HC 03/04/13

[Red Rick]

I've yet to see Cavendish not ride the fastest last 100m of a race

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Cav made a right mess of that. Kittel world champion sprinter for the second year in a row.

 

[brilleaben]

Too bad Cav. Now Boonen is still the best classics rider of the generation.

 

[Netserk]

Now we'll have to wait a whole year for this great race to happen again

 

[shinoda13]

Well done by Kittel. Will Cav get a proper leadout this season?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Guardini 4th. Damn. He was in a perfect position sitting on Cavendish' wheel but he just didn't have the top end speed required.

Irrelevant point of the day.

 

[BlenJones2]

Fair play to kittel but cav must be pretty annoyed as his team arent even attempting to lead him out. Also what were sky doing? Looked like they were drilling it out for nobody

 

[Netserk]

Kittel with just as many wins as Boonen. Legend yet?

 

[woodenswan]

**** lead-out by OPQS
anyway.. Henao vs Batencur was a far more impressive sprint

 

[jens_attacks]

good that i could switch from pais vasco straight to last 3 kms of this

Guardini.?

You didn't watch the whole race?

Irrelevant point of the day.

It's not irrelevant. Cav isn't getting the lead out that kittel or griepel is getting and therefore although he has the fastest sprint his positioning means he's out of contention before the sprint really begins.

All sarcasm aside, it was loads better than Flanders this year.

 

[the asian]

All hail king kittel, the greatest sprinter in the world.

 

[ChewbaccaD]

It's not irrelevant. Cav isn't getting the lead out that kittel or griepel is getting and therefore although he has the fastest sprint his positioning means he's out of contention before the sprint really begins.

There were other riders with no train who were in a better position. Maybe he needs to grow some b@lls?

And it's irrelevant because....wait for it..........he lost!

 

[jens_attacks]

You didn't watch the whole race?

no but i can't wait to be uploaded somewhere and download it
i will definitely put it on a dvd.

 

[El Pistolero]

Worst cyclist of the WT in the worst WT team wins the worst bike race.

How appropriate!

 

[ChewbaccaD]

I think Sky were just showing Cav where he could have been.

 

[Netserk]

no but i can't wait to be uploaded somewhere

Is that possible?

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

At least Cav can console himself with the fact that Kittel will never win the other great sprinters monument on the Champs Elysee.

 

[xrayvision]

He was dropped here. Just not great anymore.

hes not riding this to win it, its just losing up before sunday.

I like your signature, overrated:
3 x world cham TT, 2 x winner of P-R, 2 x winner of Vlanders, 2nd in Olympic RR, winner of Olympic TT, multiple stage winner in GT´s, winner of T-A, winner of TdS, etc etc
what does it take to be rated?

 

[ChewbaccaD]

Wow, can Cav pout any harder?
