We probably won't know about the DQs before after the race, so even watching the riding for minor places could be interesting.
No way, DQ them now or not at all. If you are going to DQ people, dont let them influence the race.
Yes I agree, but when they disqualified riders in 2006 it didn't happen before after the race. I find it highly unlikely that they make the decision and figure out exactly who crossed before the race is actually over and then make the effort to stop them.
With that said, I don't see them having the balls to disqualify all those riders. |

Unrelated to anything really, does anyone know if Knaven was the Sky DS at RVV? He is here today and they are actually playing this fairly well (given how unlucky they have been). If he was at RVV too, I have no idea how someone can get tactics so wrong in one race and then come here and do the right thing.
Maybe they learnt from there mistakes? I honestly don't know but agree they are playing smarter today.....so far

I am getting annoyed with the inaction of the commisioners, they had a perfect heli view, how long does it take to make a list of people they need to remove?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Monster acceleration by Etixx, breaking the pack. |

I like the look of Vanmarcke so far, the rare glimpses I catch of him. Seems like the current split is decisive.

Imo people are going too crazy about the train thing. The poles went down while they were crossing the railways. Some of them got it in the head, how are they supposed to make a stop from 55km/h to 0 in that case?

yeaah but after possible accident when one or train driving thrue peloton...it had been disaster.
there would have been so many smart people (including you) who does not understand how such thing can happens.
there was just about under 10 seconds..when police manged to stop peloton...and there was still one stupid BMC rider who decided to sneak pass around policeman back.
Yeah, but what are you going to do? If you want to DQ the riders, you should just stop the race. IMO it is the organizers job to make sure the riders are told to stop, and clearly they didn't do so. So they can't just kick out everyone. I can point out atleast 3 riders I would DQ right now, but the riders that went through while going at almost full speed should clearly not be DQ.

They only announce it afterwards I believe.
Terpstra has to win it given how much work Etixx is doing here. No other teams look capable of competing.

Haussler punctures out of the front group. Worst time to have one, with the crosswinds now in affect. |

That's BS, they cant let the race be decided by people who should be out. Just look at this OPQS move, what if a few of them had to be taken out? This can be the deciding move..

Two channels are showing it here if you are willing to put up with Phil and Paul. Their ad breaks don't overlap.
