Berard right in front of him is more impressive to me

Nice win by Kreuziger, but stupid of the peleton to let him get the gap. Gilbert was looking good, maybe he could've won without his fall? Also glad to see Meersman showing he can win this race one day.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

What did Meersman do ?
It was Kwiatkowski

He had cramps at the end.

Ferrari won one more race today.
If you think I'm in the wrong topic, get your facts straight. |

The reason why everyone thought it was Meersman is because the mechanics put his transponders on Kwiatkowski's bike and vice versa. |

Any opinions on Cunego's move? His legs seemed really fat to me on the tv. He tried similar things during Giro stages last year and it brought him some result then.
Or it could be some 'fare fatiga' for Sunday. And wednesday cause he isn't racing in Trentino. Don't think he has done FW much in the past

Difficult to assess the parcours, but I like others found the last section unsatisfactory. It was fortunate that the race was won in a slightly strange way, a mixture of some mixed up tactics by some teams and some really strong riding from Roman. It probably means that the organisers will be satisfied with it, ultimately I guess if it made money...
Gilbert looks in very decent form, looks in shape to win the Ardennes.

Kimmage asked Nico Roche about it over twitter today. Obviously Roche won't respond, as he never has when asked why he'd professed admiration over dopers like Contador, Armstrong, etc.

Avin smoothly reuniting check slovakia.
Kreuziger and Saxo..wow this is a little unexpected..happy though..this is finaly something big to Kreuziger. Well Giro is close also (Saxo-Kreuziger should keep podium places out of options)
Sagan burned himself out..no wonder. How long this peak can go anyway.
Gilbert atack..classic
Valverde..he's ride was also surprise..man still has one of the best cycling brains at peloton

Kreuziger indeed unexpected, I thought he was finished after last season...
But deserved.
The favorites waited too long, their old trick of waiting till the last Cauberg clearly fails on this course. I was glad Gilbert didn't win. He's turning into this one trick pony with his hillsprint at the end and not doing anything before. Same with Gerrans/Valverde...all the same.
Glad an attacker won. Go Kreuziger!
Now, if an attacker manages to win FW I would be REALLY happy.. Perhaps Weening  the other hero of the day (or Astarloza) |

An attacker winning Wallonia's answer to the Scheldeprijs? Good joke.
