Three Days of West Flanders

[jens_attacks]

They got six in TOP 11.

11 KEISSE Iljo (OMEGA PHARMA - QUICK STEP) 08:30

don't let us down, cav and vermote!

 

[ingsve]

Nice ride by Ludvigsson. Possibly his best TT considering the competition.

 

[barmaher]

don't let us down, cav and vermote!

Only chance Cav has of breaking the top 10 is if Vermote starts a second before him.

 

[gruppeto993]

Omega pharma must have found a shortcut. Perhaps cancellara gave them his bike motor :-Dclassic radioshack. Second with machado and then jungels and sergent. They always have multiple riders in the top 10 but no one wins anything!

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Cav delivers.

 

[Netserk]

8'21 for Cav

Quick Step is ready! _O_

 

[jens_attacks]

cav did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!damn this is awesome by omega machines

" Je ne suis pas content du temps de Jesse. Mais je ne peux pas lui en vouloir : il a eu un problème de chaine juste au départ. Il a dû faire avec durant tout le parcours. Dans ces conditions, il était difficile de faire mieux. En ce qui concerne les autres coureurs, ils ont réalisé un chrono satisfaisant. La victoire devrait revenir à Omega Pharma. Ce sera soit Vandewalle soit Vermote. Pour les prochains jours, on va tenter d'attaquer et de remporter une victoire au sprint. "

 

[barmaher]

How embarassing.

Cavendish takes sixth place.

Quick Step with the whole team in top 20! _O_

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Whole OPQS team in the top 20.

 

[jens_attacks]

not bad omega
.....

 

[The Blues]

Omega smoked it. RadioShack did really well also. Nice to see - for me, at least.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Ciolek pretty good, he sucks at tt so 8'40" is not too bad. He is in good shape.

 

[gruppeto993]

Regarding omega you should bear in mind that almost the whole team are part of cav's lead out train. Sprinters and lead out men do well in prologues. Nice to see devolder up there. He a showing good form and looking good for the classics

Kristof Vandewalle was part of the winning WC TTT selection and is Belgian NC in the TT.

 

[HoinkDoink]
