Lotto were disappointing. Seemed to only be Bak and Roelandts capable of putting up a fight.Correlation is not causation.0 -
Love Tom's Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne donkey...anyone get a screenshot?0

Massive fail by Lotto, they had the numbers there to stop the initial gap growing out of control but left Stannard to try to close it on his own. A few other teams had enough riders to contribute but hid in the second group until it was too late. Excellent by OPQS and Belkin though, took pretty much everyone by surprise even after the initial trial run on the previous hill.0

Agreed. I enjoyed the race just purely for the displays of immense one day riding power from Belkin and OPQS however I'm sure a Stewards enquiry would declare "excessive use of the whip" on the OPQS boys overnight.
Good weekend's racing though eh?0 -
OPQS and Belkin both rode great races, as did Lampaert and Vansummeren. If every weekend of this spring can produce such good racing I'll be very happy.
As an aside, I just saw this on Twitter:

@inrng So this guy in the break can only be the ‘real’ winner of #KBK?

Boonen actually has a real donkey as a pet, doesn't he?"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'"

It was reported on Twitter that Greiple had a cold. Maybe that's why Lotto didn't work, he sat up in the sprint for 11th as well.0

Since when did Lotto not work?0

Just so you know, swearing relating to blasphemy or illness are the most offensive.
Swearing relating to bodily fluids & excrement, sex and sexual organs is milder.0 -

I often hear this word from my dutch girlfriend when we're out on a ride - I think she must mean something else though, surely?0 -

I think it's that only some, Bak and Roelandts worked. Not that Lotto didn't work at all. Compared to all the other teams bar Sky and a lone Paolini, they worked. It's all relative though.Correlation is not causation.0
