It's been a good race. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Would it still be considered a "spoiler" to talk about the weather?

Somebody got schooled today.
Tactics win again....
Won't say who so it doesn't wreck it for the VS watchers.
There's a team right now that's simply not good enough. A certain DS will be feeling the pressure, I believe.
BTW...it was great that they got the train schedules worked out this year.

Interesting result, I am surprised and quite pleased. Unfortunately, my plan to wait until Monday and then d/l the race was spoiled by an overzealous friend who sent me the results in the title of an email!
Cr@p!

My Danish isn't that good, but I distinctly heard 'punktering' from the Danish commentators. A darn fast bike swap, though.
Of course, they could have just been speculating: "It sure didn't look like a 'punktering'..."
The crash was because, well, it's Paris-Roubaix
As I noted in the other thread, you gotta' think he had a good shot at the podium, given the free ride in the chase group.
