Awesome race, really enjoyed that and Fabs deserved that win greatly
Exciting race, breathtaking throughout.
Glad Saggy was no where as well.

Any word on the spectator that was taken to hospital - I had to go out and missed a fair bit of the coverage

Belgian newspaper this morning said she had two operations yesterday and that her injuries are "life-threatening".

The Scheldeprijs this Wednesday. Sagan, Cancellara slated to start but is that what these tough guys do between the RvV and the P_R?
I'd want to sleep for a week especially as it's hard to see past Kittel for the win.

The Scheldeprijs this Wednesday. Sagan, Cancellara slated to start but is that what these tough guys do between the RvV and the PR... it's hard to see past Kittel for the win.

If I would be team leader considering all the crashes lately, I'd seriously reconsider starting guys that are already in enough form (Cancellara, Van Avermaet, Devolder,..) to prevent any crashes that can befall them, because this is a sprint waiting to happen.
(If they want the kilometers, they can get them from an individual training session just as well)

Boonen can use the extra kilometers though to grow the extra percentage for PR

Only shot I'd think of is that other teams can mess up the Kittel train (like in the 3rd stage of 3 days De Panne), then dangerous guys could have a shot (Demare, BOs, Guardini, Pelucchi, De Haes,...)

Demare might be a challenge to Kittel
