I read Boonen complained about the lack of ear speakers, making it more difficult to control the race. Meh...
Let the racing to the riders. |

I can't find a picture unfortunately 
Hehe, just looked at my photos and youre right.
Any chance of posting that picture to show the others? 
Amazing pictures btw, I wish I had gone. I will go to ToB this year because it is only about an hour away from me  |

Agreed. Best race I've seen this season. I'd like to see more races with smaller teams and no race radios. |

It might be the little Boonen fanboy in me, but I don't really see the complain. He points out that the race was harder to control, which is pretty much true. Then, I'm reading the cyclingnews article, so maybe the original interview (Flemish?) sounded more as a complain.
Still he says that you have to stick with your first plan, which is bullshit, it's as easy as to race together and talk to each other.

Anyone watching the women's RR? The Brazilian cyclist attacked earlier only to be dragged back in and now... nothing is happening. The roads are damp and some of these corners/bits of road furniture look rather dangerous.

Voss attacks and splits the field. Maybe two dozen riders in the front group, but it is hard to tell.

Peloton goes over Box Hill for the first time all together, but things are starting to string out a bit.

Vos sparks it off on the second climb of Box Hill, but the group is still quite large. Armistead looks really good.

Two times over Box Hill.. What is that? A shame that the course is so easy.

Yeah 4 or 5 would at least pose a challenge.

If Voss wins I wonder if the headline will be "Armistead beaten by Dutch Nobody"?

Vos should win this.
A shame that Johansson missed the move.

Vos cannot win road races for national teams.

Horrible. Plain horrible.
But well, with these small teams, what else but a break making it should be expected?
