    Brilliant by Cancellara. A well invested 200 quid!
    Had a feeling the attack on the Oude wasn't full on. I think he just softened it up for the Paterberg. Awesome.

    Now for the boat race .... joke.

  • Our feed just died before Fabs crossed the line. What did he do?

    Stick pins into a poppet of Peter Sagan and then asked for a wheel-barrow to carry his enormous balls...

  • The last month of one dayers have been rather afflicted by inclement weather In my experience they're usually a process of wearing down. It's about not making mistakes that your rivals do.

    Canc's cough tells you how tough it was out there

    Did a cartwheel then turned round to mock the rest. :wink:

    He missed out the curtsey. Amature. :wink:

    Who's gonna be around to challenge Sagan once Canc and Booen are gone?

    Fabs is great, but i'm disappointed that other teams didn't do more to try and get a different outcome.

    Frustrating having to watch the other classics guys at Sky backing EBH when he can't deliver. Maybe they won't either but would be nice to see them try!

    Other teams played their cards too soon.

    Careful, i got slaughtered for saying this a month or so back.

    I believe the charge was: he's hardly a latter day Gerald Ciolek is he.

    HAAHHAHAHA. The irony. (Although EBH will come back to bite us on the arse, no-doubt). :lol:

    Hulsman saying it was phenomenally fast all day. 40-50kph and didn't really relent, hence no real attacks.

    Difficult to see that on the tv.

    Did Hulsmans (or another Vini rider?) get knocked by the commissaire's car just as Canc was putting the hammer down on the Kwaremont? Couldn't quite tell on my dodgy feed, but the car looked awful close just before he pulled over.

    As always, I enjoyed the Flanders experience (flags, beer, Stoverij and shouting), but the race itself was pretty average.

    Seriously, why has Eurosport become a haven for the musical atrocity that is brostep/popstep?
