That would be nice, wouldn't it? Let's see if we can't knock something up, eh.

lesley67 - your 81 points was joint top today

Cancellara has a strong team, they just weren't at the PR with him

If i was in his position, i would have just sat back and said, feck it all, do it yourself, Ballan and Hushovd had someone up the road, but they would have wanted the win themselves, they just wanted him to do all the work for them, just like Chavanel last week

But there were a few arguments going on today, at one point Flecha was bumping shoulders with someone from Rabobank and shouting at each other

Was a decent race in the end, spoilt by a few spats and crashes, but thats racing i suppose

Only scorer for me was Cancellara, the rest seemed to get taken out by Rabobank and apart from the very start i never even saw Wiggins at all

Would love to have heard what Cancellara was saying to Thor and Ballan then Vaughters when he spat his dummy out and refused to keep pulling them along. He's an amazing rider but I don't know why he'd expect them to give him a helping hand when they don't need to and its not in their interest.

He's right when he said that getting 2nd place was like winning for him today though, dropping Hushovd and Ballan showed who the real rider was out of them.

Going to have to put much more thought into next week's team selection now... Gilbert and Boonen were a big let down for me over the last two though-really expected more from them.

Yeah the League leader from last week Sir_Velo and another high ranker - Men in Black have picked up a load of points again this week - well done you guys on that achievment, particularly in this race where the points can come from the strangest places( You obviously have the inside track ) . .methinks you may have made the break from the Peloton a little too early though, we're all chasing hard . . you will be caught !

Im inclined to agree about losing riders,I only had a couple finish myself, but to be fair look at the league leaders - they appear to be consistantly picking the right riders at the right time for the right race - and amassing huge points to boot . Ultimately ( like the Grand National ) this is the one race which it is difficult - even impossible to pick the winners - it's such a grueller ,several riders got shed through no fault of their own, mechanicals and punctures etc. Anyway will lick my wounds and get myself ready for the Amstel Gold Next week, also time for a rethink on my current team,see how many riders remain injured from todays outing, exciting stuff all the same.

I have a total man-crush on Fabian. His effort at about 4km to go left me weak at the knees. But Van Summeren deserved it. Him, and the bugs on his teeth.

First time I have watched this race - amazingly tough, fantastic drama, can't wait till next years race.

A recumbent trike, lol, fine n comfy

Unlucky

I now hold a grudge against Rabobank, its was one of their riders went down and took 3 of my riders out, Thomas, Hondo and Boonen, lol

I used to have an Electra "Jeremy" a really nice bike to ride, the saddle was lower than the top of the back wheel and the tyres wouldn't have looked out of place on a motorbike!
