Damn. Er, Boogerd?


Is Kroon the new Boogerd ?

The French would probably love a French 2nd and 3rd for a
French race.

Yes. I won! (because, you know, it's implied that Boogerd, I mean Kroon,
would finish 2nd not 1st).

The little guy was fighting back his tears on the podium, it seemed.

I was bumming about that. Kroon has sometimes had a decent sprint,
but wasn't strong enough today.

Also, Katushya is way better than I thought they'd be this season. I
thought they'd be a big money superteam that didn't gel and rode much
worse than the sum of their parts but they are doing great.

He made two errors, first i tried to jump before cauberg, the result
was that neither Ivanov nor Gesink helped drive the brakeaway for km
3-1. Secondly with 200m to go he let Ivanov close him on his rith side
so he had to fal back in order to get arround on his left side and at
that monment Ivanov started his sprint.

Verr clever of Ivanov ho would usually be a lot slower that Kroon,

Also, Katushya is way better than I thought they'd be this season. I
thought they'd be a big money superteam that didn't gel and rode much

I picked Rebellin after you did which makes it that much closer to
being a Flèche Wallonne pick. I win.
