Three days of de Panne - 29th to 31st March

[cineteq]

I don't think Westra can beat this time....
Rosseler with 18:31

That's just...too much

Westra has 8 sec. to play with...

 

[roundabout]

You got to agree this is a bit demoralizing. It's gonne be extremely difficult.

true, but hopefully Westra believes that it's possible

 

[boomcie]

Keep the faith. And 8 extra seconds should be enough for the overall at any rate

+1
8 seconds is a lot.

 

[jens_attacks]

my respect to bruyneel and the shack.lots of people are crying right now =)))))))))

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I wonder how Terpstra is doing after that fall.

 

[roundabout]

Ferminal won't be happy. I know i'm not.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

According to Sporza Terpstra probably broke his collarbone

 

[Barrus]

Is it really that good when a team is completely unseen in the entire race and just rides a good tt and wins through that?

@ D_T didn't Tom Steels say it was probably not a broken bone but a muscle thing?

 

[boomcie]

Bad luck. He was doing a great job.

 

[Francois the Postman]

'ugger! Bad news.

I think that is still great for the team

 

[Jamsque]

Westra's DS is giving him the proper encouragement, but I don't think it will be enough to overcome what Bruyneel gave hisboys. Muravyev is the only person who can take this from Rosseler now.

Apart from Rosseler. Nobody from Shack did anything in the race. Is that the kind of racing you want to encourage?

Oh please, Westra hasn't made it to the intermediate and you've already given up.

well 3 stages for sprint and an ITT stage that really matters for gc.and muravyev,rosseler and kwiatkowsky did an excellent first stage you may not have seen it.

plus i like radioshack and ITT's

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Muraviev also with an excellent time at 15 seconds at the intermediate

 

[Jamsque]

Oh please, Westra hasn't made it to the intermediate and you've already given up.

I hope to hell I'm wrong.

 

[El Pistolero]

Lol, that Dutchie screaming is hilarious.

 

[roundabout]

I hope to hell I'm wrong.

Ookay, time to start panicking now

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ohhhhh

Not a good intermediate by Westra.
Rosseler is going to win this.

 

[Barrus]

Good intermediate, not good enough, he really needs to do a lot to win this

 

[Jamsque]

Stick a fork in 'er, she's done. Westra deserved the win today but he was no match for Johan Bruyneel's Super Secret Special Sauce.

[edit] Wait, how much did he have on Rosseler before the stage?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Really gutted. Bah

If only he got +30 seconds on the 1st day like he deserved. Oh well. We'll have to live with a guy who won the ITT and saved his powers in the other stages

 

[maltiv]

I'm sorry but blaming a radioshack rider for supersauce while supporting a vacansoleil rider doesn't make much sense.

8 seconds. Rosseler is already 2 seconds in front virtually now
