Really liked the race today ! Nistor (Melres United) makes an impressive gap of 2 minutes on the hilly part, Collina (Slayer772004) is coming closer on each mountain, but its Amrom (De Koereurs) who is climbing like a true mountain goat and takes the win. Congracts !
Best race of the season, with a lot of tension !

Congracts ! Best race of the season, with a lot of tension ! Yes indeed. I was expecting a win today with Nistor and I hoped that he could win much time in the hill and keep it for the mountain because he is good too, but Amron was a big surprise. I know well Amron and he is a mounster in the mountain but use to fall many times, but not this time. Congratz

Easy win for Orsini Attacking the first two stages so he started with 80% fitness today and only went 85%. I don't know about Torrini, but he has 60% fitness left too... I'm happy with an overall good result in today's stage. Let's hope it's good enough to stay out of the red zone untill sunday

Finally, my first win this season . This was one of the 2 races this week where I did have a good chance to win. The other one was yesterday's race. The 4th place there was a bit disappointing, but winning tour de Flanders makes me happy. Tomorrow will be a race for some younger cyclist in my team to get a bit experience, so I don't expect anything of it.

Many congratz heppie! That "0" is gone. Still 2 teams without any win. Tours cycle club and my team. I guess, though I take some podiumplaces, I'll have to wait till next season to win a race (perhaps in 3rd Div).

nice win from Audran, Congratz EG Real bad luck for my Chiodo, who fell in the last part and as a consequence lost contact with the 1st group. He was one of only 2 riders in my team who were on more then 85% in the past week. So I definitely expected better then that 4th spot he got. Quatannens : Torrini was on the same tactics as Orsini, but apart from the last stage Orsini was clearly better. Had to save him a bit because he is in my Giro-squad, but I did not expect him to finish that well.

Yes I was expecting for a fight between Audran and Chiodo but that didn't happen.

I feel a little annoyed about Paris-Roubaix. Brethouwer (Slayer772004) is in the 2nd group on the first attack. His sprint is not that good, so no problem with that. But with his strong Flat, he comes closer every part: 33 29 24 21 till 19 sec. On the next flat attack he loses again time, but comes closer and closer: from 37 25 15 6 even till 2 seconds. But once he joins Defauwes (Titani), he start to lose time on flat parts on the first group. Little strange. His TT is perfect, so that can not be the reason. The only reason I can imagine is that Defauwes is pulling on the saddle of Brethouwer. Scandalous sabotage

Scandalous sabotage Probably the TT skill of the 2 riders (Brethouwer+Defauwes) conbined is lower then the TT skill of riders from 1st group so they will lose ground. Edit: If you are realy interested I can check the combined TT of both groups, but I don't like to see the skills of riders in my division, that don't seems fair.

Some attacks are not mentioned in the report, I think when everybody in a group attacks at the same time (?), maybe that explains something. Defauwes attacked at point 4 was caught again and left behind, I don't know for the others but Chiodo was set up to attack at point 5. So this would mean sprint comes back in the equation. Also it seems logical to me that a groups speed is based on the average skill of all riders in it, not on the best alone (and only if a riders skills are much lower then that average a rider drops out - attacks aside ofcourse). BTW Chiodo has 8 TT

No no ... its no big issue. Brethouwer would never win the race, but its was strange to see that on his own, he was closing the gap, and once with 2 riders, he lost time. Strange, but not that important. I don't know what to expect the coming days. No U21 races for me, so all my powers on the Amstel and looks like there will be a clash with De Quint in Rund um Köln. I'll give it a try with Rimaux. Sidder en beef

Amstel is also one of my goals this week. I hope to finish top-3. I think there are better cyclists than mine. I also will give Fleche Wallone a go with Nastasia. I really don't know what to expect from that race, but I'm certainly not going to win with his pretty low sprint skill
