Willehond Posted June 21, 2009 Share Tom Boonen and friends visited my hometown and I had to go and see them! Tried to combine it with a training session, but difficult to focus.Luckily I could ride the last bit of the route and take some pics: Nice and narrow finish where they came through three times! more to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willehond Posted June 21, 2009 Share All the teams seemed to have at least a team bus and a big support truck in the parking area. Loads of money here. Strangely Barloworld were stuck on their own outside the area. Outcast or just a good spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willehond Posted June 21, 2009 Share First lap Silence Lotto were trying a breakaway with Gilbert as he needed to take the lead from Milram's Terpstra. It would be close in the end. Very close. Here is Gilbert second (I think) with Boonen sucking wheel in a six man breakaway: Damn fast... Willehond2009-06-21 11:35:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willehond Posted June 21, 2009 Share Lots of people were out on the boats on a cool day. Windy as you can see Hey, even the cops here have bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willehond Posted June 21, 2009 Share Milram chasing hard. Terpstra even has some bling custom Lightweights. Nice. It was very windy, but still everyone had deepsection wheels on! Except for Cervelo who had very, VERY deep section wheels on! (Are those 808's?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE BODY CENTRE Posted June 21, 2009 Share ag nee WH - dit issie fair ni! Ek dink daar moet n hub reel wees dat geen hubbers pics mag post v international racing wat hulle self afgeneem het nie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willehond Posted June 21, 2009 Share DT, I'm just compressing some more pics and I'll tell more in a bit! In the mean time, don't you think this is a good idea for SA? It's a 'blikvanger' (can catcher) for your trash when you ride on the bike path. Somewhere to throw those gel packets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willehond Posted June 21, 2009 Share Apparently Barloworld were also there but if you blinked you would have missed it. Completely not part of the action and remember last year they WON this tour with Gasparotto! Willehond2009-06-21 11:59:06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willehond Posted June 21, 2009 Share Even watching the cars was fun. So much drooling... Why some of the BW bikes had green pave tyres is beyong me. Not really Paris-Roubaix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willehond Posted June 21, 2009 Share OK, last pics. Here is the second last lap. This time Milram had caught up and were heading abreakaway! Silence-Lotto chasing. On the last lap I had some trigger photographic issues (flat battery!!!) Anyway, Gilbert managed to take some time and beat Terpstra by 2 SECONDS! Phew, at last they took a tour win. PS Did I mention I ride a Canyon like Gilbert and Evans? Thought so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
