You know I just think he might

lol, how? No form this season, won't beat anyone in a velodrome sprint, and he's no Boonen or Canc so can't manage a long one on his own.
I agree it doesn't look good for him but he does have a record of targeted wins
 
Re:

Just seen the E3 highlights are on Eurosport this afternoon at 4.15.
And tomorrow Ghent-Wevelgem on Eurosport 2. Overlapping Crit International on Eurosport 1. Glad I got my training done in the week, now!

Re:

I hope someone besides me is watching some epic racing at Gent-Wevelgem today.

About half an hour ago, our man Geraint having some fun in the wind:

Re:

Made it back though, top ride!
Sadly for him, Quick Step now have 2 in the chase group

Re:

Yes he certainly did.

Thought Paolini looked shot with a few km to go. Then he goes and churns over top gear for the win! :shock:
I imagine Wilfrid Peeters was pulling his hair out after the finish, which wouldn't take long by the looks of him! :LOL: :LOL:
Wiggins packed with a couple of hours to go I think.
Did you see the Cannondale rider throw his bike away at the feed? His own fault, trying to take his gilet off and getting it caught in the rear wheel :facepalm:
I bet he had to ride to the finish!

Re:

What a race.

G clearly the strongest man again today, and looking great for Flanders. Only trouble is, the others knew it, and left him to chase down every late move, with Paolini getting away the one time he waited for someone else. A well-deserved win for Luca though, for once not having to work his socks off for Kristoff.

Wigans called it a day before half way, around when a few riders got blown into a ditch. I'll say nothing more on his P-R aspirations. : )

Yeah, nice throw from Jack Bauer - must've been watching the ones by his former team-mate, Saint Dave Millar, to do that.
 
Re:

There was a very windy section, I was worried and I was on the sofa! :shock: :facepalm:
Why they didn't use conventional rims though , is beyond me. Any rims with depth was always going to be a problem.
Still think legwarmers over shorts looks wrong! Along with facial hair, and overshoes that are nothing like team colours! :LOL: :LOL:
Maybe Cannondale will use the pic, with the slogan, ' Look how light/strong our bikes are!' :LOL:
