Slagter is a great rider! And you just gave us two stats of Willy Wouters.


Thanks for that, didn't notice at first Pfft Awesome average and recovery

We can also deduce his hill stat is pretty good, 79-80ish?

You can even look through and see some more. Maybe someone with Photoshop skills could add some more contrast? Pfft
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

sutty68 - I think that's still Eddy Merckx, though Grin

krisa - Thanks Wink

Daggen - Pfft

MrUfo87 - Believe it or not, it was on purpose. I once said I would give hints sometimes Wink

Jakstar22 - Coming up!

Ollfardh - I can tell you his recovery is his strongest stat with 2 more than his second highest stat, which is a major stat (not res, sta, acc...)

E3 - Harelbeke


Preview


i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E301_zpsf9a31926.jpg


Stijn: This is my kind of race. The last two editions I managed to sneak away with the victory. I feel stronger than ever today!

The Race

brought to you by Sporza


Rise and shine, campers! Today is the start of the four cobbled classics. As tradition dictates, we have an early morning breakaway. Among them is one rider from Team Garmin, the Belgian Dassy. Once again they manage to get in the break, José.

- Yes, it's just the way Garmin has been riding around this year. With the World Champion in their ranks, they've become a whole other team. Martin has just won two races in the Basque Country, they're all floating along with those rainbow stripes.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E302_zpsc19e77a0.jpg


We're now halfway as the peloton climbs the Muur Van Geraardsbergen. We look out for the World Champion.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E303_zps03cf343b.jpg


And there he is. That's well at the front. He is, of course, the absolute favorite for today.

- Yes, obviously. Though someone like Cancellara and Boonen do have the experience. And there's some other talent out there, think about Dovzjenko, the winner of Dwars Door Vlaanderen.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E304_zps00b99600.jpg


BMC and Sforza are working hard on the breakaway now.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E305_zps0378b0fc.jpg


And an attack! It's Farrar!

- No, Phinney, he's the American champion.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E306_zps7df318d7.jpg


The World Champion, Van Gent, is sending his man at the front one by one. I wonder wha-- There goes the World Champion himself! An attack with 40 km left to go!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E307_zpsc14f13ba.jpg


We go to the front of the race now, where Cancellara is riding away with a team mate. When did this happen? It's the first we see of it! Are they in front of Van Gent or behind?

- I believe that's the absolute front of the race.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E308_zpseac8a44b.jpg


Yes, we now see Van Gent in the chase, with Dassy and Phinney. How far behind it this?

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E309_zps1583e3c7.jpg


23 km left to go and Van Gent has reached the BMC duo. We also see Sagan coming!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E310_zpsdf35d8fe.jpg


And the bluff begins. This gives riders left behind a chance to return. We wait and then there's an attack! Cancellara! But the World Champion is right on his wheels.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E311_zps655b696e.jpg


Sep Vanmarcke managed to return and is doing invaluable work for the World Champion.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E312_zps3b52b673.jpg


Cancellara with what seems an ultimate attack, all or nothing! We are 10 kilometers from the finish. And that attack goes a long way!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E313_zpsec712d24.jpg


Van Gent is now alone in the chase. But it's not looking good. Cancellara has done this many times before, he's gone!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E314_zpse64f9a55.jpg


This man is going to win E3 - Harelbeke. Van Gent is still not cracking, though. Maybe there's hope.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E315_zps6d04beea.jpg


Cancellara sees the finish now. We time, 1, 2, 3. Only three seconds, Van Gent coming around the corner!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E316_zps52724ae0.jpg


Van Gent with a final sprint. And only now does Cancellara notice him, was he slacking? He's started a sprint now, too! Stijn Van Gent with a wonderful sprint!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/E317_zps01d3f37f.jpg


But it's no good, Cancellara should've looked behind a bit earlier, it's too late now. Stijn Van Gent after an amazing chase, what a finale!

Action - Reaction

brought to you by Sporza


Fabian Cancellara, so close yet so far. Can you explain what happened there?

Fabian Cancellara: I thought I was safe. I should've kept more concentrated. I should've won here today.

We see the World Champion is ready for his bit. Stijn Van Gent, you are on a killing streak. So far you've won all one day races you entered this year. Are you writing history?

Stijn Van Gent: I don't know about that. I always give 100% and I'm more focused than ever. This season has been unbelievable so far, and I hope it never ends. The team is also amazing, we have real strength and power here!

That was quite an impressive chase there in the end. Did you ever think: he's gone?

Stijn Van Gent: Normally Fabian is a guy that just goes and never returns. But he had wasted a lot of energy in the race, I knew that. I never gave up hope and I saw he was slowing down a bit there. I forced my legs to do one final sprint and they didn't disagree with me. It's amazing. Possibly the toughest 5 kilometers of my life.

You're on fire at the moment. What would you say if I dare you to keep up this winning streak until after Paris - Roubaix? Not counting the Panne - Koksijde.

Stijn Van Gent: Gent - Wevelgem, the Ronde and Paris - Roubaix?

What do you say?

Stijn Van Gent: The competition is tough and I've never won either the Ronde or Roubaix. But I say: challenge accepted!

Well, there you have it, people. Stijn Van Gent heading towards his first Ronde Van Vlaanderen? We'll see!

Everything points at him, he's just gonna win RvV this year! Problem is that nobody is ever going to work for him, except his team-mates ofc. Well, good thing is that those team-mates are great Pfft

Atlantius - Phinney and Vanmarcke with an impressive finale indeed. Phinney completely empty on the finish line though Pfft

Jesleyh - We'll see who's the strongest: an 180 peloton or Garmin. I'd guess Garmin Grin

Miguel98 - Was very unexpected for me, too! Wink

Ollfardh - First year he's declining, and it's visible!

kqyt - He's certainly in the lead. If he does well on the following cobbled classics, I can't see many threatening him for the 1st ranking at the end of the season!

anderspcm - Thank you Wink

Jakstar22 - Glad you enjoyed it, It was just as exciting to play, believe me Grin

maxime86 - If you are, don't wake up!

PCM rulezz - Thanks!!

SSJ2Luigi - True story. Cool

sutty68 - Thanks, his collection looking quite nice so far Pfft

Daggen - After all that, who wouldn't be? :lol:


Thanks once again for the massive amount of comments! These are great days for the two guys, especially our World Champion Wink Though in the E3 I didn't expect a come-back like that.

Tomorrow's gonna be a tough day, got a lot of work and a dentist appointment. Tuesday may be rough, too. But if I find a little time, and I will, I'll do Gent - Wevelgem! Thanks!
