Shelling as many of the favourites teammates so Tommy has a chance of a break?
Beats me.
Yeh, but isn't that exactly what Fabian wants, but can't, due to his pathethic team?
Strange tactics - but good for the race.
Have you got a direct line to Klier's earpeice??
That's the best Flanders tactic. Just watch what Klier does, then do that"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Well, they are not going to destroy half the team just to get first over the top with 120km to go are they..
You're right it's a standard tactic - but not with 120 to go. They wanted to close the gap to the breakaway to get Cousin in it. That's all.0 -

An old bike rider once said that women are for the off season; is that true??? ; D

You put 3 riders in the break and riders will get arsey if you don't work. Overweight in the break has downsidez0

How narrow are Sieberg's handlebars? Reminds me of Hoy in the match sprint.
Wonder if they're putting more riders in their road positions in wind tunnels these days.When a cyclist has a disagreement with a car; it's not who's right, it's who's left.0 -

Look i don't wanna start an argument 'cos i'm too busy enjoying the race but surely you appreciate that 80% of anything that happens in Flanders is about positioning? Even at 120km. The other 20% is breakaway/tactical breakaways and actual attacking for the victory.
You can't 'save' your team 'til the business end. Surely you know these races don't work that way? If Voeckler stuck Turgot on the front then yes it would be strange. Same if Cancellara stuck Devolder on the front. But why not shove a few bottle carriers on the front so that your leader stays out of the crashed and splits.0 -
Hummmm. I've got a deadline for a new website build first thing Tuesday, but I can't concentrate with these pesky cyclists in the corner of my eye.
Not sure what the client's reaction to "Sorry I didn't finish it - I don't often get the opportunity to watch dirty sweaty men, but my girlfriend was away, so it seemed rude not to.." but it's time to take a break from coding for a few hours, crack open a cider and enjoy the show.0 -

Pace has been high, peloton is nervous, even more reason to be at the front.
New route to blame?0
