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

[Kazistuta]

Actually though THE COSSACK was Hutarovich's nickname as well... Is it known to be D&G's nickname?

 

[superconfex]

Otherwise it's three days of racing down de panne...

Now...thats comedy

 

[Jamsque]

Someone (Bala Verde maybe?) came up with it in the nicknames thread after he showed a lot of promise in the sprints at Paris-Nice. Galimzyanov is too hard to spell.

So does anyone know how far down Wiggins' bunch finished?

4 minutes I think.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

No they are usually not so fast with full results in Flanders. Wait another 2/3 hours and we'll know

How about Zya-zya?

What have they eaten!

I remember the past few years spanish (edosof), italian (especially rcs) results where superfast.
But for the Belgian/Dutch results you had to wait hours, days...weeks..

Thanks, looks like he is ok then. Was half-hoping he would be 130th overall and Sky would have to try and break it up tomorrow.

Jesse Sergent didnt finish, could have done well in the TT tomorrow.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Sergent is a one trick pony. He can do a good short flat prologue and maybe a decent longer flat ITT, and that's it.

Closing 5k - Italian - High Quality

Vaitkus 4th
Kruopis 6th
Juodvalkis 20th

Not often you see three Lithuanians in the top 20 of a pro race.

Seems like all the Cartoon Kirby, Russian and De Panne jokes have been made, so there's not much left to be said.

Westra to take the GC win for the Vancansoleil Vipers.

Sergent and Bewley both abandoned, so never mind top 120. No ITT for the Shack ITTers.

What a subtle pun, my friend.

Nice!
The Cossack takes it!!!

And Vacansoleil ready to take another win!
mmmm I'm still wondering where are those fackers criticizing Vacansoleil???

Uh? You must have dreamed that up.

Anyway, Westra is the top favourite, as he might well win the ITT himself, but it's not a done thing yet. People like Rosseler, Quinziato, Grabsch or Chavanel are dangerous.

 

[Cobblestoned]

Now some nice pannekoek met Nutella after de Panne.

Eat one for Denis.

 

[theyoungest]

Angel Madrazo, eat your heart out. There's a bigger geek than you in the peloton.

I can see Evans looking at this picture: "Why didn't I think of that?"
