  1. Isn't it nice to have a good bit of racing to talk about, after all the
    [censored]? Go Sandy! That was a perfectly executed move, off the back and down
    the inside of the traffic island, giving him enough room to get a clear
    gap. Yes, Boogerd pulled him back in the end, but then didn't have enough
    left in the tank to sprint. Clever, wily, exciting racing. And then in his
    post race interview, giving credit and thanks to all his breakaway
    partners. Chapeau! An excellent example of grace in victory.

    Frankly, today, I'd have been pleased to see any of Casar, Boogerd or Mercx
    win - they're all great cyclists. Nothing against Lefevre, either, but the
    others are all people I've watched and enjoyed watching over the years.

    It was beautiful. You could see the millisecond when he saw his
    oppurtunity when they approached the island, and despite getting
    caught and sitting in front he kept his cool, waited til he had a tiny
    gap, knew they were just as wasted as he was and pulled it off. And
    after a nasty spill earlier too!

    No, the spill helped. Remember Lance on the Musette Stage? It was
    established then on rbr that a well-timed crash gives you a
    performance-enhancing boost.

    It's true, I see the Master's Fatties doing it all the time,

    I didn't agree then, and don't now.

    Before I was a Master Fatty crashing was definitely detrimental to my
    performance. Now that I am a Master Fatty it would probably kill me.
