Ronde van Vlaanderen 2017 **spoilers**

[Buddfox]

Gilbert is not my favourite rider but that was gutsy in the extreme - chapeau.

Rivera is tiny!

Great ride by Pip.
Sagan has blotted his copybook lately what with the shoulder barge and this.

I'm too ashamed of my performance to even check it for errors. Apparently, I know even less about women's racing than @rich p

None of us did well, really. I expected it to go more the way of the men's race and picked accordingly, but really with that finish it was wide open, and a lot of our collective picks were top 10 and close to the win. Fair play to Rivera though, great win.

Sagan says it was jumper first, then barrier and partly his fault: http://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/peter-sagan-tour-flanders-crash-partly-fault-323020

Wrong dimension

Had to come back for this one, one of the best, if, not the finest I've seen in the last 30 years !

No!!, that's me, thinking about next Sunday

 

[Dogtrousers]

The Ronde van Vlaanderen always seems to clash with the Tour of Flanders. You'd think they would sort out their scheduling.

Decent video on the Sagan crash. Looks like it was the jacket that brought him down, as it dragged his handlebar left and caused him to hit the barrier feet...

Bloody jacket hanging over the railings!

Not sure - looks like they caught an advertising banner?

Jacket was after, Sagan hit the rail
