Great freakin race. Would have loved to see Ballan take it but Boonen...well, he's Boonen...

How about Maskaant, great result for Slipstream!!!!

Georgie, another 'top ten'. :rolleyes: I can do his post race press conference, "Well ya know, top ten, good race, legs felt good, I'm happy."

George has bad luck again! :confused: Tom B. had plenty left in the tank and rode a great race, got to hand it to him,he's the man. Anyone know what bike T.B. was on, Carbon, AL?

That was a Classic!!! Good for Boonen. Folks were starting to label him the next Vanderaerden (even before today he already had a greater palmares than Eric!) and this will stop that dead.

I can't wait to watch this one!

Brilliant race. Looked like Cancellara and Ballan did all they could but had no answer to Boonen. It was fun watching O'Grady and Devolder attack each other and try to bridge to the leaders. Perfect team work.

Even if Georgie had been up there no one was taking Tomke today. Did you see him constantly talking to himself and watching Cancellara .
AND then that sprint. WOWZA.
He backed up his pre race claims. Good race.

What the hell happened to Backstedt?!? All that preparation and talking up and Arenberg was the last time he saw the front?

Yeah, no one else in the world has a kick that strong after 260k!

No kidding! I just loved watching the selections peel off the riders -- 60 -- 32-- 8 -- 7 -- 3 -- 1. Now if only it could be a mudder one of these years.

Finally, I can get those photos with Bettini out of my head and sleep well again.
