Budweiser is owned by InBev, a Belgian company, but I'm guessing they're not going to mess with that awful American formula.

This is one of these times when us belgians look down and shake our heads out of embarrassment ;-)

been watching for a while. this ain't no Gent-Wevelgem; the weather looks lovely.


seems like a nice ride so far.

Yup but don't underestimate the race so far because it is constantly slowing down and accelerating after every turn, and there are so many. Especially in the peloton where guys are fighting for a good position it gets very inconsistent and exhausting.

hmmmm ... actually, they're all in long sleeves and leggings. is it cold?

When I checked the forecast a few days ago it was gonna be a high of 50 or something.

thanks. and I've always meant to compliment you on your ST name. classic!

Thanks ;-)

Back to the race with Jesse Sergent getting hit by the support car and out of the break and into an ambulance instead. Stupid incident that could have been avoided. Reminded me of this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j03obuRAHiM

I have to admit (sheepishly) that I'm sitting here with a can quasi tall-boy (14.9 oz) of Stella. I was looking for Ommegang at the grocery store yesterday but no dice. With everything we had to get done this weekend I didn't have time to visit a proper beer cave. We're too far from Cooperstown to have good coverage at all stores (I'm in the great white north just south of Montreal - it snowed again overnight and this morning). To compensate for the Belgian beer lite, I'm wearing my drunkcyclist kit which looks like a Belgian jersey! ;) Thanks for the tip on SBS - it's a better quality stream than stuff from steephill.

HS! that's terrible! I figured it was a clip of Hoeg-er-land [sic]. wow!

Gaudin on the front! I think he's gonna stick it!

looks like an intermediate sprint is coming up in a grand tour stage race with all the teams setting up in trains mid-race. Sky seems eager to control even this far out

Guys driving neutral support cars are in need of some driving lessons. Boom!

unbelievable! Must be the weather fooling them into thinking it's a nice Sunday sightseeing drive out or something...

haven't seen Sep all day - is he still in this? He's a pretty big dude, did he fit under that banner?;)

Fdj look but where did shimano find the drivers - I'm guessing where I live given the stupidity

He's still there, 1/3 into the pack. Doesn't wear his usual helmet.

Now I know where my kid is spending his Spring Break. He's driving the neutral car.

 
This is a glorious way to start off a spring Sunday. this is like the Superbowl for me. Eff American Football.

Speaking of futbol, Team U.S.A. in the World Cup gets close. Cobble, please no mentioning of the Rode Duivels.


Cheers!



responsible for Juliper, no less


Ah, and here i thought you lived in upstate NY. Glad to with the SBS, and to boot, i think it's Brian Smith commenting as opposed to Phil and Paul

In first group now

Oh I'm still in NY...just WAAAAAY upstate. Literally hour from Montreal. My neighbor is a US Customs agent, that's how close we are ;)

I don't think it's Brian Smith...Rob something and Magnus Backsteadt. Not bad, honestly. Few shoutouts to the Bauers and Hausslers but not like the Eurosport Team Sky jerkfest.

Sounds like Farrar is in the group. Surprise, surprise.

I'll gladly forfeit my picks for a Jack Bauer breakthrough.

Sven Nys is commenting how good Devolder's legs are.......

I know - the TdF ride last year was nothing short of epic. Combined with the bike toss last weekend I like the guy even if I know nothing about him at all.
