I thank you
Still have Flecha in the break?
They looked in a much stronger position than that though, before the crash
Potential "1 - 2" tactic though...EBH is...erm...mediocre to decent in a sprint, Flecha is a good breakaway...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Would like to see VanMarcke or Chav get this...
Paolini has been strong for a few races now...0 -

Flecha will sit in the wheels and has the worst sprint ever so can't see him getting it. EBH was their best bet coz Bernie is now doing too much work...0

Second long classic where Peter "he'll be screwed after 200km" Sagan is still at the pointy end.'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0

Possibly, IMO QS just seemed to manage to be in the Right place at the right time, Sky were mostly in a good position, but not quite at the right time!You live and learn. At any rate, you live0 -
In TdF coverage they always say that the peloton can bring back 1 min worth of gap every 10kms, so why in Flanders is the 'selection already made' when the front group is only 40 seconds away with 25kms left to go?0

#Flecha is messing about a lot. Boonen's lot sitting pretty. How can Pozzatto screw this up?

3 or 4 domestiques can be brought back, but a break of 20 odd riders - all of whom are team leaders - is a very different prospect, especially over these roads/climbsWe're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence
