Boonen couldn’t get around. Positioning…
"The only pain I got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is." Edvald Boasson Hagen
Yeah Boonen got boxed in and couldn't start his sprint till way too late
"Cofidis Keukeleire in revelation set off a seat and made the job off." Oh Google translator...
by Vlaanderen90 on Mar 20, 2010 12:01 PM EDT up reply actions
Well Boonen tried to start his sprint earlier and he couldn't get out of the group and Freire accelerated away
"Cofidis Keukeleire in revelation set off a seat and made the job off." Oh Google translator...
by Vlaanderen90 on Mar 20, 2010 12:04 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm not sure
the overhead made it seem like he just couldn’t match the acceleration.
Vlaanderens Mooiste
how it looked to me
he was hunting around for an opening.
"The only pain I got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is." Edvald Boasson Hagen
Liquigas came over on him a bit...but Freire was definitely quick

Definitely

not as smart a sprinter, anyway
Oscar’s about as smart as it gets.

WIll be looking for big things from Boonen
a couple weeks from now…
Yep
Overhead showed he just didn’t have the legs
Jens Voigt doesn’t know where you live, but he knows exactly where you will die.
Top 5
Freire
Boonen
Petacchi
Modolo-new sprinting sensation?
Bennati
"Cofidis Keukeleire in revelation set off a seat and made the job off." Oh Google translator...
Thor doesn't have a sprint these days.
But he seems strong, could be good for Paris Roubaix. Diesel style.
In a few hours
I bet we’re going to see an excellent picture with a joyous Friere face and an agonized Boonen face. Will be a great shot.
that wasn't a pip.... now, when oscar beat zabel.... THAT was a pip

I'll fight you for it..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Freire sat on Benna's wheel after he started
And just powered away from him. Great move.
Jens Voigt doesn’t know where you live, but he knows exactly where you will die.
Freire is so crafty.
Rabo needs to pay Garzelli a bonus for working so hard to keep the pace high on the climb.
Revised opinion
Boonen had space, had Freire’s wheel, didn’t have the speed to get past.

They've done that a few times this year
they just leave Bennati a bit too far from the line so he ends up leading out everyone else
Looked like he hit a patch of wet concrete
