    Always forget what a monster the koppenberg is.

    I loves the Ronde!

    Right, I'm off to the pub – a race to get there before the peloton gets back to Kwaremont.

    I'm hoping le Chav can beat the main favourites, but watch out for Leukemans – he'd sell his soul to win this race.

    That doesn't look good. Looks like he's out of the race.

    Spartacus has had no luck at all today :(.

    Looks like he might have hurt himself - maybe a broken collarbone?

    He's not getting up-even if he does, race over for him. Looks like a collarbone

    Fabian out no doubt.

    I'm a Fabian fan boy but when you're that far back in the peloton you're only asking for trouble. Boonen has been smart and been at the front all day, think Fabian needs to take a leaf out of Toms book.

    Laying down again now with the race doctor with him.

    Maybe something broken. They were looking at his shoulder, so maybe a collar bone.

    Looks like he's really hurt himself. You hate to see that.

    He'd be up if it was a collarbone, he's lying on his side. Hip maybe?

    Boonen was pretty far back on the Koppenberg.


    No Canc for Roubaix either.

    Rest of the classics wont be the same without him. Sad to say, but true.

    Will change the whole race.......OP-QS have their big problem out of the way.

    Hope the big guy is okay......any race without him is poorer.

    If it is a broken hip as per Sporza indication, he'll be out for a while

    Right, I'm off to see my mate.

    Enjoy.

    Looks exactly like Rich95 predicted yesterday.

    I would think Chavanel will figure more than Pip.

    Hope I'm wrong, but Pip hasn't exactly been lighting the road up this season and has openly admitted that his form is down.
