    That crash looks really nasty on Sporza's ticker... Boom down too, 3 abandons as a result including Cancellara. Devolder looks like being the only former winner at De Ronde next week who's not there glad handing Parket barons.
    Wow you're not kidding, bodies everywhere in the photos.

    Thomas is more about 'my man' than actual belief, isn't it? ( it was in my case).

    The abandons are off to the hospital. Looks like Fabian will be joining them ook.

    Just when I was getting excited about Cancellara vs Vanmarcke for the next couple of weeks. Well, it makes Flanders and Roubaix even more unpredictable now.

    The chaos following that has let the gap out to nearly 9 minutes! Jumbo on the front to try and restore order.

    Frenchy is gonna lose it when he gets back from his boozy friday lunch.

    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Good record in the race (3rd & 4th in last two years), clearly in form, not viewing this a mere stepping stone to RVV/PR.

    Where do I start? For me it can be summed up with two words...

    Showboating groper.

    Needs to learn to attack later, and when he gets caught, stop chasing the f*ck out of everything.

    Pulled up the live ticker, saw 'Cancellara' 'crash' and 'abandon' in the same sentance my my heart beat just exploded.

    What amateur caused this crash?

    Judging by the number of team leaders down, one of them.

    I rue the day I lost the courage to pinch one of the Kwaremont glasses with the cobbled base and the cyclist winding their way up the stem. :(

    They have them at the end of the Proximus cyclos, if you want one, I'll liberate one tomorrow and post it over. At B Posts rates, it should only cost you about 20 euro :wink:

    Cyclingfans thinks it is on Eurosport 2. Eurosport 2 doesn't think this.

    Time to brush up on Dutch, Flemmish or whatever.

    Another crash and this time it is Thomas Voeckler. The Frenchman has reportedly abandoned.

    Can you imagine the look on his face!

    I love how a crash translates as a "falling party"

    Please provide evidence of a previous claim to Sjoerd van Ginneken as your man. You can't just run around picking riders willy-nilly, you know.

    partij does not translate to party.

    That'd be 'feest'
