Eugene Oppelt Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 tombeej,attention: “I was having a drink, everyone slammed on and I hit a central reservation and landed on my face about 50km in. It proper shook me up. It’s really frustrating, because I pulled something in my back and I just felt terrible all day. I managed to hang on in there and went away in that group in the end...Considering how I felt, I can be happy with that. It was just a stupid crash.” Geraint Thomas tombeej 1

Eugene Oppelt Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Tommeke and Spartacus 7 each in terms of Monument wins
Eugene Oppelt Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 A fact to remember as I reflect on my favourite's performance today: Cancellera didn't win his first big classic until he was 26.Sagan is 24.
Eugene Oppelt Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Looking at it that way, it was a disappointment to work alone. I lost a lot of power doing that because it’s a long way from the Taaienberg to the finish. I put a lot of energy in this attack. Maybe that cost me the victory.” GVA, on reflecting on another 2nd place Read more at http://velonews.competitor.com/2014/04/news/greg-van-avermaet-pleased-passenger-flanders-fight_322999#RXOtyjEcWiOOiD0x.99 Spoke101 1

Eugene Oppelt Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 What would the Trek brand do without Spartacus?
Jaco-fiets Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Great race! All 4 leaders were on tired legs at the end. Cancellara would have gone sooner if he could I think. He had the best jump to the line of the 4, played his hand the best. Van Avermaet was possibly the strongest rider in the race, but he used a lot of reserves because Vandenbergh were almost no help to him. Big up to him for still getting 2nd. I agree with you. For me Van Avermaet was the rider of the day. Cancellara is a general though. Well done! Spoke101 1
StevieL Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Spartacus... Yussy, what an absolute machine...Great day of racing.Roll on Roubaix :clap:
