    STUPID stupid move by Boonen, what was the point of that??

    He just lost himself and Chvanel the race

    What an idiot. Cancellara wasn't even bluffing, he was perfectly placed, how could Boonen poke the sleeping lion with a sharp stick like that?

    Idiot!!!! Now i have to start at Cancellara's butt for the next hour

    While it's impressive it's just not that interesting

    I think we can now put last weeks debate about whether Fab could ride Boonen off his wheel to bed.

    How is Cancellara being faster than everyone else Boonen's fault?

    Everyone's been expecting that all race. You could see the body language change when Cancellara went - no one thought they could follow, so didn't. Especially Boonen. Guess the show of power at E3 had the desired effect...

    Poor form attacking while top favourite is on the back after a puncture. Not impressive. You should win because you have more power not because of misfortune.

    Of course there is, wait for the bloody sprint. Even an idiot could have figured that out. Or at least wait for Cancellara to make the move. Don't provoke it!

    Chavanel is actually still looking ok.

    Agreed, could have waited for Gilbert

    Boonen showed his hand to Canc... Boonen had a pair of twos.

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    If Chavanel takes a pull he's fired!!

    Is Fab just taking a breather for a mo and then going to power off again?

    Ha, Rats summed it up beautifully. RIck, it was unnecessary is my point. How was Cancellara beaten in San Remo? Just thing of that for a second.

    ach, it was in the last 50km... I'm rooting for Gilbert, but at that point all's fair. Gilbert knew it too.

    Amazing though. Everyone other than Chavanel looks like they've been left standing with their fingers up their ar$es, and won't get organised to fix it. Excellent play by Cancellara.

    "unbelievable" was the term David Harmon used - I don't believe it either. Let's hope the peloton make a race of it.

    Hold on Sylvain, suck that wheel all the way to Meerbeke and sprint around for the win.

    Like Buyneel and Indurain.

    Come on, Chavanel a more worthy winner than Boonen IMO.

    At least BMC have the balls to take up the chase, whilst everyone else just looks at each other and let Cancellara ride away.
