Ohhh i would, especially as he isn't starting the race . Greenedge will be holding him and Albasini back till Amstel, Fleche Wallone and Liège–Bastogne–Liège.igstar wrote:I wouldn't write off the world number one cyclist - Gerrans...

When those 3 got away, it was a pretty good chance Boonen would be able to out sprint Ballan and Poz.toolonglegs wrote:Tom

i had a laugh at some of the commentary
"tom's won it twice, but the fans refuse to refer to him as the lion of flanders"
"that's cos he lives in sunny monaco, instead of training in the cold and sleet of flanders"
"i think he enjoys the monaco lifestyle as much as the weather"

The new route lacked the excitement of the old one I reckon.

I didnt think that this years race was anywhere near as good to watch, is last years route the 'normal' route? I know they changed it this year but has it always been the same before this year? I hope the organisers do not have the same route as this year again.
Question...what are peoples opinion on the Langeveld incident?? Just a racing incident? I think it was rider error...at that speed why was he going down that way? The spectator had no where to go.

What about the driving from some of the team cars trying to get past the peloton
I was disappointed that Pippo didn't counter after Ballan's attacks. He's ridden with and against Boonen enough to know how a sprint would end.

he panicked after the peloton starting encroaching on his left, then found SL coming on his right. he shouldn't have been standing there at all, but SL was ambitious in moving onto the footpath(?)Chuck wrote: ^why did the spectator move?^
the agreement between them was apparently that pippo wouldn't cover a ballan attack - if he got away, he could have the win, and that pippo was hoping that if boonen covered all ballan's attacks, he wouldn't have the legs in the sprint. didn't work obviously.Chuck wrote:I was disappointed that Pippo didn't counter after Ballan's attacks.
