Chapeau to Farnese for making a great effort.

I agree, they even look like they could do something  lol ..and super pippo  trolling everyone with that little attack  ;D 

The wrecking ball Sep Vanmarcke holding up a misfiring Garmin team singlehandedly in that one by the looks of it. 

Sky played it quite well this time (well, what remained of them) considering the blunders they've made recently, kept a low profile until Stannard hit the front late on and Eissel getting a P3 easily so well done them.

They looked to have made a great move getting 3 away early for Pozatto to get away and join up, but a lot strong riders today and when a break got a gap no one really prepared to push on with break.

Not sure what Boonen was doing dropping everyone of the climbs and then sitting up. Interval training : Luckily he won the race otherwise he would've looked a bit stupid for making the efforts and then not continuing.

Fan got a wheel of Canc's bike when he crashed. Hope that appears on youtube.  ;D

so "old and Slow' gets pipped at the post by Boonen-the-master,  but Gilbert-the-conqueror-and-god-of-all  .....  abandons half way because its too hard    :facepalm

I am officially a little concerned about the great ones form.    :-X 

The thief will probably turn out to be an overzealous Garmin Barracuda enthusiast.    :police:

more likely part of the BMC plan to get a win at any cost  :
