    Sagan should sit up and start saving himself for Roubaix

    Why aren't the group chasing? A few trying to get across on their own.

    Should he f***. He should turn himself inside out for 4th place. I need the PTP points

    Boonen seems re-energised, Pippo looks he could puke and Ballan seems to be having a stroke

    The most frustrating thing about pro cycling - riders will rather sprint for 4th than risk all for a win.

    Bloody Hell Pross, he had a damn good crack at it - he's not actually superman!

    Fun and games starting now...Don't want to count any PTP chickens but Tommeke looks like he's out for a stroll here!

    Poor old Ballan - Cadel must be his sprint coach

    :D:D

    Unfortunately seems to be true, but what can he do. He has to attack because he stands no chance in the last 200m.

    Boonen.

    Complete animal this year.

    While it wasn't a classic running of the RvV, you can't take anything away from Boonen for racing the race that presented itself.

    Quite deflated with the overall race though. New course not as good as the old one.
