    Was that Ian Stannard coming in the next big group. Great riding by him if it was.

    Contandor's former team.

    Chavanel is the rider of the day for me.

    Really entertaining last 60km and especially the last 16km.

    Chavanel and Cancellara both, riders of the day for me, but wel done by Nuyens.

    why say that ? - tactically the weakest rider in the first four out thought the other big names - it wont be a B'shit win in Belgium

    That is what happens when you are too good. Everyone rides against him. No one works with him.

    The best should win. He didn't.

    Credit to Cancellara. I hope he takes them to the cleaners in Roubaix.

    +1.
    Something we agree upon.
    Fabulously unpredictable.
    Nuyens in great form since Dwars.
    Thomas truly awesome today.

    Surely thats just racing. The best doesn't always win :?

    Excellent tactical victory by Nuyens. Incredible rides by Chavanel and Cancellara. That was an awesome, wonderful race.

    Well, let's hope Roubaix is as gripping as that all the way to the end!

    That was fantastic... best race I've seen for ages.

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

    Congrats to Nuyens but Fabian showed the biggest balls, to come back and still attack and nearly take it.

    I think he is going to rip them to pieces at Paris-Roubaix, he won't want to come so close and fail again!!

    True dat FF, i am a canc fanboy and smart riding by Neyuns but Cancellara absolutely burried himself from what 60k out? gave chav a free ride for 20-30k and should have blown a number of times but just dug deeper and deeper, strongest rider in the world.

    He didn't even have any team support. So much for these teams packed with 'experience' and talent'.
