Did the Rapha mental coach tell his guy not to start?

no, their LIFE Coach told them since it wasn't a WC not to chase the top 30

[TRuss]

Thanks Chance.

[Shoogs]

Being at work is not a total loss today, thank you.

Legs hurt just looking at that mud.

jayssus, nijs crashed twice in first 5 minutes.

Make that three times. That mud following the start is claiming many victims. Edit: Got albert too. Maybe that's not the line guys.

" if sven nijs crashes 3 times in the first 15 minutes the course would be too hard for me"

Stybar drops the hammer, Niels once again flags in the last two.

[shoney]

I think it's fairly safe to say nijs, albert, et. al are glad stybar won't be racing worlds this year

[Britishbane]

Holy Chit! Nys chased a beer thrower off the course!

[caleb]

Sven Nys: Hell yeah!

[Britishbane]

Sven Nys: Hell yeah!

Can't blame him.


I retract my previous Niels statement. Race of the year by the dude.

[jamesand]

Sven Nys: Hell yeah!

Sven Nys gets medieval on a fan - YouTube

You don't pour beer on the demi-god of Belgian 'cross. This ain't PDX.

goes midevil? i hope they did yoga before that stretch
Good/bad for Nys. unfortunately this is going to encourage asshats to toss Primus and Jupiler on Mr. Roboto.

Hows about:
Owen again riding to second behind Van dPoel
and
Nikki Harris putting Compton into the fencing

this was a cracker jack day of racing!!

Holy Chit! Nys chased a beer thrower off the course!

Perhaps Nys needs to take a few pointers from J-pow about going "beyond the barracade". Too bad that the incident resulted in a DNF and knocked him so far back in the times series standings.

If you missed the live stream and dont want to wait a day for it to show up full length on youtube, there is a great 8 minutes of laatste ronde coverage avbailable at; sporza


17th place today for Johnathan Page, another solid result for him.
