Roelandts certainly looking good...

Greipel with a nice performance today. Good that he is also trying to do well in these kind of races.
Best place for sprinter to start learning and build for sprinters retirement races. When speed is not enough anymore against young guys.
True. Will be interesting to follow his classic performances over the next few seasons. |

Bleh. Degenkolb wins if this continues...
Lefevere regrets not to have picked Cavendish for this race.

No, he'd attack on every single climb like at the ENECO last year
To overcome a time deficit (and have a quality training, something he needed badly last year), something that here wouldn't happen, obviously.
?
So you're saying Contador is not an attacking rider?
Never said that, no. For modern cycling standards, he is.

Will he race sunnday? Could do even better in Roubaix.
Would have been perfect plan by Lotto had he been in the Roelandts group now.

Could be for Bozic, considering how they're racing at the moment

Speaking of sprinter retirements. Petacchi's riding his first (and last) Ronde today

Is there anything Kwiatkowski can't do? The guy's incredible.

It would be weird if he didn't, considering his usual race calendar

Blanco looking for that top 50 finish with 3 men in the group. Best result in big tv one-day race so far. I expect places 47,38 and 27 |

They should replace the Hotond climb with another cobbled one for next year. Would be better in terms of potential attacks I think.

They should throw this circuit (and whoever designed it) to the rubbish bin it deserves to be.

Haha, yeah, I guess so
Never thought I'd say it, but Gent - Wevelgem last week has been more interesting race than this so far..

That'd be the best solution, I agree
Although I find that less likely
