Seriously???
Why is Rothaus trying to do any train with all the young riders?
Wasn`t this obvious that Vesely alone is not able to lead-out Vantomme?
Then also a disappointing finish by him. Even worse that Vesely won the team duel!!! Great performance by him at least. Best young result by our team so far.
Now I can only hope for a stage win with Boom in the time trial and hopefully a top5.
Otherwise my lucky phase in the last races seems to be over obviously.  |

Welcome to the frustrations of relying on a sprinter to do well, consistently

Vantomme had miserable last season, why things would change suddenly?

Maybe a team change. Or PCM11.
Also his stats are nearly the same than Cavendish`s.
The main problem was the bad sprint train.
In Nokere Koerse he proved his strength without train.
So I hope that he will do great in the more important races, where he will have a great sprint train. |

I know. Just not happy at all how this race went for Vantomme.
Luckily it was one of the few races, where he will have zero support in the sprints and actually I never expected Vesely to be a possible lead-out men. Not even in PCM. |

2/2 winning time trials by Boom this season.
This saved my race and maybe even brings Boom into the top10 rider rankings.
He really is worth all his money, different to some other guy... |

Two in the Top 4 of the TT is good, hoped for a better top result than 3rd though!
6th in GC is brilliant for Tennant though. He has 54 cobbles afterall. And Blythe did well to hang on to 12th overall - 19th on the stage is a good effort for him. Kiprotich and Van Wyk also did well to make the Top 30 in GC.

Two in top 10 in the GC is great! And Hushovd took the greenjersey also that´s good! |

Obviously this race went superbly for us. The team classification was just a bonus.
