2009 ronde van vlaanderen

the muur decided it once again..

unless you want to decipher the commentary, play these in succession & mute the cycling clip for a reasonable little buildup





hopefully it isn't confusing.. think it is nuyens from rabo leading the larger chase group in some early footage, but eventually the camera cuts back to the lead group of 4. Stijn Devolder (Quickstep, white) opens the initial little gap and the chase looks tight for a moment.. but lol 2:15-2:20 he is just on another planet. Quinziato (liqui, yellow) looked strong the whole race, but he just goes to pieces on that final pitch. They never saw him again & he got to finish solo, in style. Nicks the show from his teammate and countryman Boonen for the 2nd year in a row..
