Flanders

Is it just me, or did Sky wear themselves out chasing down the break far too early so another break could go before the end? That's not the way you win green jerseys.

Nice riding by Boonen. Pozzato looking strong but nothing makes up for that Sidi advertisment.

You could be right Phil but the distance is the big thing at over 250k. Boassen Hagen is still young though and could be there in a couple of years.

I agree about Boonen but as well as having the legs he had the team.

Cancellera must be gutted not just for yesterday but also for Roubaix. He will be dangerous later in the season though I think.

Enjoyed it though still my favourite but I prefer the old course.

Olympics ? Cancellara is one man who seems to win these classics without needing a team in the last 50k.
The London route is not as hilly but will be more like Belgian classics than anything else.
And with the 5 man team (4 with Wiggins holding back for the time trail).
