Nice K-B-K finish today.

I'm sure Spartacus was watching closely.

Great work by OPQS today. Textbook.

There is nothing like classics season!

Having 5 out of the 10 in the break was nice. Nice work by Belkin, too. My English language feed was sketchy in the last K. Anyone using cycling.tv able to comment on whether the stream is good enough to warrant the subscription?

That was a great finish! It must have been the aero helmet that made all the difference.

The nose candy has been known to keep people thin!

Props to Boonen and his Omega P team. They did a good job and Boonen looks pretty healthy to me.

Good ride for Tomaka. Omega almost messed up the finale.

I dunno. I still prefer the old colors, it seems easier to pick him out from the group esp. with the rainbow rings on his sleeves.

And if you ask me , it doesn't seem like a dominating win. I know a win is a win but the young chap that trailed behind for second, looked like he has a real chance to jump for a surprise, maybe a little bit starstruck, and less experienced. Quickstep definitely doesn't looked like they had it in the bag as much as it was widely believed. There was a sigh of relief in their camp at the finish line.

'Surprised' the cold weather had an impact on this 'hard man', last week in omloop-het-nieuwsblad, maybe he's too thin..

and spartankid-get a clue...

I'm glad to see him riding well so far this season. He and Fabian seem to have had opposite form the past couple of years. Seeing the two of them at their best going head to head will make for an awesome classics season!

Side note... I would really like to see Stijn Devolder take advantage of the rivalry and sneak off for a big win of his own this year.

hope TB has a great spring. classics are my favorite races and though he's had some ups and downs (some self-inflicted) i always pull for him.

Was a good weekend, with great classics weather.
Cannot wait for the rest to roll through. If for no other reason than justifying the three month sub to cycling.tv. It was quite nice to have commentary in English, no matter how good I thought my Dutch was getting after watching Sporza feeds of cross.

*crosses fingers*

Please no crashes for Boonen or Fabian, please no crashes, please please please no crashes!

Really want to see these two go at it in peak shape in the classics this season.

don't fall for cyclingtv...horrible and this from a guy who subscribed for 4 years...just awful...bait and switch...they will get the contract in past for year, advertise...it disappears the next...apparently they are trying to swindle folks for another year...


nice to see Boonen get another...he looks thin...so friggin great for the real season to be opening...guys are hungry...

Okay, let me be clear about this...if Spartacus operates at that same level he did in this clip...Tommeke, no..I mean, NOBODY would be able to keep up with the machine.

One of my favorite all-time race clips. Both in national champion jerseys, and both riding like the champions they are.
