The Spring Classics - 2016

['Dale]

The Skyborgs are looking very organized hey

['Dale]

Wonder whether Kawasaki or Rowe is their nr 1

Prob Kwia

['Dale]

Geez

Can't blink here as a racer

It might cost you a split ????

[Gen]

This is one crazy race

['Dale]

So so lekka to see some Tinkoff doms doing their job with 88 kms to go

[Bonus]

Grinding along on the cobbles!

['Dale]

You saw that moto whizzing past, Gen

 

So fast

So unnecessary

[HappyMartin]

Cancellara will no doubt have a moan about how everyone marks him meanwhile he appears to have glued himself to Sagans back wheel.

 

Don't get me wrong. I really like Cancellara but he sure complains a lot.

Lizzie vs Blaak here it seems #womenflanders

 

17 kms to go

Small selection of about 10 riders

And the 'main event' hasn't even started yet.

 

The second time up the Kwaremont @ 55 km to go will be when things start getting really stressful and serious.

 

We go over the Kwaremont then onto the Paterberg, the Koppenberg, the run across Steenbeekdries, and then onto the Taaienberg @ 37 km to the finish. 

 

For me, the Taaienberg will tell me a lot.

['Dale]

Taai daai Taaienberg

Key time for a final selection ????

Is synchronized flag waving a sport?

['Dale]

Nice to see the Gorillla in the mix

Lizzie ????

Looking very sharp - unbeatable it seems

And she has company

I donno.. hey.. I have been watching and Armistead has chased down every attack the latest couple of km.. they got away eventually. . But those effort chasing down the attacks has got to hurt.

 

 

She also seems to be doing more work than johannson
