carbon29er Posted April 3, 2017 Share The ONLY advantage a Grand Tour has over The Spring Classics is that it is generally only 21 hours until we can watch the next race. This wait until Wednesday for the Scheldeprijs and then Sunday for the BIG DADDY of them all makes for a very frustrating week. Edit: Wednesday: Edit: Sunday: Edited April 3, 2017 by carbon29er Gen, Mopkop and Long Wheel Base 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon29er Posted April 3, 2017 Share Enjoyed yesterdays race a lot, QS really did a great job at controlling the race. Tommeke is just a fckn machine! I've never really liked Gilbert, but give credit where it's due, he had an amazing day/week.I'd go further. When he was with BMC I disliked him. I never thought him joining Quick Step would change my view of him. Clearly my prejudices have no rational reason behind them. I wonder if we will see a Classics team as strong as Quick Step again if Zdenek Bakala does decide he's had enough.

carbon29er Posted April 3, 2017 Share Nice one Nikki. Many ways to get even for stupid post race comments about your team. And there they lie. A bit useless now. Cav', Zatopek and Vetplant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted April 3, 2017 Share I noticed PG was wearing fizik shoes yesterday but has been wearing spez up till now. But how cool where those "custom" R1s he has. Black with red and yellow boa dials and lacing system. Matches his Belgium champ kit very nicely Mntboy and carbon29er 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mntboy Posted April 3, 2017 Share Gilbert is another that is sheer fluidity in motion. Such a classy rider and so easy to watch. Hope he will be at his best for RVV. Sent from my SM-J200H using TapatalkCalled it, sort of.PhilGil is not prioritizing the RvVDoing Three Panne is far from optimal peaking strategy  The Steppers will focus on Stybar, Terpstra and Boonen for results on the weekend.A win isn't to bad for a guy who you thought wouldn't necessarily feature for his team.  So is nice to be wrong hey 'Dale?  [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]  Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mntboy Posted April 3, 2017 Share YipThat's the beauty of racing He was riding for Boonen acting as bait on the day It all came together Love itI tend to believe the maxim that the race decides. We had so many things happen that were sort of unplanned for or not in the tactical book for the day and yet we had one of the best RVV's ever. In fact I thought it was as entertaining as last year's PR! Which was the best race of last season. We got a worthy winner and a very good podium.  As for tactics: QS recovered well when Boonen was ruled out by the mechanical and gave Gilbert good support once they knew he was the man to gun for the win. I am sure they'll be going all out to ensure a win for Boonen at PR! Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk carbon29er 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted April 3, 2017 Share A better view. This one pretty much settles the jacket debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
