    Impressive from Tommy.

    Solid win.

    Not explosive enough to be Amstel favourite mind.

    Inky's all over the Ardennes!!

    Unfortunately I should be all over the budget I came home to do in peace!

    Priorities Mr.

    Priorities.

    That's why I suck at being my own boss, cycling always wins.

    Good ride from Voeckler, he's building up a decent pile of wins in "semi-classics".

    Looks blinkin' awful on a bike.

    But a good ride thus far.

    Very good! It's a happy twist of fate that I have to do most of my hard work between October and March and can take a bit more time off in the summer, to spend with the family of course :wink:

    Everyone looks so small after weeks of cobbled races.

    Someone should tell Tommy to rein it in and hold something back for Sunday.

    Bet the Flemish are p!ssed this clown face won.

    He's hardly befitting the stone-faced hardman style they so dearly love is he?

    So the bunch between tommy and peleton let the guy bridge up to them, and now go straight off without anyone managing to go with him.... no wonder tommy stayed away.

    That columbian guy is impressive.

    Rides up to the chase group on his own - has a bit of recovery, and off he goes again.

    Very nice ride by Tommy since he jumped away. Gap still increasing.

    Hope he hasn't left too much on the course today and still has something left for the weekend.

    Voeckler haters, that one was for you.

    Attacked solo from a ways out. Thanks.

    They can suck on it or appreciate the talent and racing balls.

    Felt sorry for the colombian guy at the end, didn't have enough to even try to get on the wheel as the others came by. Deserved better than 4th, but...

    Has the UCI passed a new rule that we haven't heard about?
    All one day classic type races in April can only be won by a lone attack from over 50kms out. :P
