Hot, dusty, sweaty day. Like '07. Aussie Mitchell Docker in the early breakaway getting some air time.

Another great race and a winner that wasn't expected. Brilliant. Gret effort by Tallingi (or whowever it's spelt).toolonglegs wrote:Nah,great result for the skinny giants .
Can't say I felt sorry for Boonen, Chavs crash was a hard one, and chappeau to him for still finishing.
Odd race in that a breakaway succeeded and that the favourites didn't feature apart from Canc. If van Summeren wasn't out front, wonder who would have won then ?
And 2 aussies in the top 15. Great effort.
Any idea what the problem was with Haussler ?

What happened to Stuie? DNF (missed the time cut)Chuck wrote:Leopard have supported Fab poorly this last week.
How about Baden Cooke, cycling with a broken cleat for 2km, then no shoe for 1km.... That can't be fun.

It seems that vanSummeren rode for the last 5km with a flat tyre Even more impressive

do you know if they use anything to keep the tyre semi-inflated, like foam?MichaelB wrote:It seems that vanSummeren rode for the last 5km with a flat tyre Even more impressive

Super effort, very happy to see someone who's always working for others get rewarded, and the big one too .MichaelB wrote:It seems that vanSummeren rode for the last 5km with a flat tyre Even more impressive

Seems he dropped the chain in Arenburg and it got jammed in the frame - the custom chainkeeper made by the team mech didn't work ... !!!!ValleyForge wrote:Did anyone work out what happened to Boonen's bike; and what groupset was it?
Dunno about groupset, but Campagnolo I think

The rear changer looked like SRAM. Just looking for something to blame!

Interesting, as Stuey was trumpeting that he was in good form - what happened to them - crashes, or just too far behind ?Redbull wrote:+1Chuck wrote:Leopard have supported Fab poorly this last week.

Even Chavanel finshed after his crash, and it looked like it hurt too !!
