Kiel Reijnen. Paramedics were shouting for an ambulance- hope he's alright.0 -
Looks like he went head first into a big drain0
-
Who's the Lotto rider conducting a major fashion faux pas with his arm warmers. Terrible.0
-
That front group's pretty strong - includes Phil Gil, Matt Hayman, former winner Wallays, Debuscherre, Groenewegen etc.0
-
Gilbert, Lampaert, Lutsenko and Durbridge (who's having a great season) are now off the front.0
-
Durbridge has clearly stepped up to a different level to be able to hang with those guys on Paterberg0
-
Trek rider who went into a ditch is apparently ok...0

He is looking good isn't he.OCDuPalais wrote:Durbridge has clearly stepped up to a different level to be able to hang with those guys on Paterberg
Some good results as a junior/U23 and on the track though so guess it's not much of a surprise.0 -
Phil attacks - only Durbridge can follow!!0
-
All back together - Lampaert attacks, but not really getting anywhere (Durbridge leading the chase).
Etixx with the numbers.0 -
Now he's got away, Gilbert's obviously not helping with the chase so it's for Lutsenko and Durbridge, both of whom are looking a bit knackered...0
-
2.2km and 30s lead for Lampaert, he's got this.0
-
1 Lampaert
30 seconds
2 Gilbert
3 Lutsenko
4 Durbridge
Hoped Durbridge's track skills would work for him in the sprint - but obviously he was shagged from getting into that group in the first place!0 -

Was a great race
shouldn't this have spoiler in the title? 0 -
Well it was a different race to the usual Dwars script.
Very fast and furious, but no sort of chase coordination behind.
Mostly a domestique's payoff day, with Gilbert as the solitary guest star."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Biased, but a nice sprint by Dylan for 5th. Still seemed to have a lot left at the end of the race. Think there is more to come.Scott Addict 2011

It was a good race, I enjoyed it.
Inrng tweeted that Lampaert missed the last year's classics season because his girlfriend ran his ankle over with a shopping trolley... lol.0 -

Good race that. Gilbert really seemed to have taken a lot out of Durbridge on the last climb, which set up things for Lampaert to take his chance.0

Is a gale-force Gent-Bubblegum the new wet Paris-Roubaix?0 -
Ha.
Some complaints from Lefevre about the gravel roads - saying, fair enough for Strade, but why in G-W?0 -

An entertaining race, for sure. That said, we're going to have to rename these races "The footpath/bike path/mud strip/rain gulley Classics" at this rate. Large sections of cobbles (both flat and climbs) were completely by-passed, not just by a small group off the front, but the whole peleton en-masse...........I can understand why, but it does dilute the spectacle a bit for me.........0 -

You have to admit it was an amazing race though.0 -
