Great race. Shame about Stybar and Vandenbergh though. At least Vandenbergh seems to be alright, first though for me was that he'd broken something. And Stybar was unlucky, he could have definitely given Cancellara and Vanmarcke a run for their money at the finish, given he held on (Which I believe he would have).
I still can't get over it. So unlucky for Styby, he is such a nice person and he was riding for his grandma that died the week before.
My eyes were going wet and that does not happen often. Hopefully he has some more professional years ahead of him and can get his revenge on any type of the race. I am glad i was not foolish in belief that Stybar can be a star on the road too. Incredible talent and great person.

Hear, hear!
I was so excited when I saw Cancellara going and suddenly I saw one little guy hanging on. "Is that Stybar? WTF!" like a little devil in Spartacus' shadow. It was amazing. Too bad he made that little mistake (you can see he comes from cyclo-cross, anyone else would've fallen off his bike!)

Cancellara has 20kg on him, yes. Approximately same height.
