Stybar was really well...
A thing that I don't understand, hope the experts clarify, is why Boom was so bad and why Nys didn't go after Stybar in his attack. |

Cause Stybar formed no treath to Nys in the GC of Superprestige, Nys tried to drop the rest to finnish second at the end but fell, and still did 3rd place  (which is bad for him cause now Vantornhout got closer to Nys in the GC)
And for Boom-stuff we need to wait for Ruben

What? Is anything suprising about that 14th place then?
Let's review here:
-We have a frozen, technical course with lots of corners
hmmmmmmm, I wonder why Boom didn't perform! Cmon people, think Have you ever seen Boom doing well on this type of cross? Ever?

If I could pick 3 people to argue at the Cyclo-Cross World Championships it would be Ruben, Stijn_Vranken and Mortchill .
Pick some serious good-looking journalist, just like... me |

before the race he was asked on telly what he thought of the parcours and he said "oh, its like a road racing criterium by night" - "so it should suit you then?" - "normally yes"
and technical?? one minor hill, 5 meters sand and 2 balkjes, its not like Gavere lol
and look after who he finnished:
9 Erwin Vervecken (Bel) Fidea Cycling Team 0.58
10 Martin BÃna (Cze) Cyklo Team Budvar Tábor 1.05
11 Christian Heule (Swi) Rendementhypo Cycling Team 1.35
12 Jan Verstraeten (Bel) Sunweb Projob Cycling Team 1.38
13 Thijs Van Amerongen (Ned) Van Vliet EBH Elshof 1.41
14 Lars Boom (Ned) Rabobank 1.45
are you really claiming that WORLD CHAMPION SUPERTALENT LARSZAROTE BOOM is technically worse than old rusty Erwin Vervecken, and crap riders like Jan Verstraeten and Thijs Van Amerongen??? loll  |

You are impossible. Yes it was technical, have you even seen the race?
discussing with you is impossible. Even if I come with good arguments, it will drag on for 6 pages, then you will come up with new things everytime, since you can't counter my arguments. And then we'll end up in circles.
It has no use discussing with you.
Why? Because you are a blind chauvinist and an idiot |

O superior all-knowing dutchie! please be my guide dog and detail the minutes where its 'too technical' or 'frozen' or 'too difficult for a world champion but not for nobodies like Verstraeten or Van Amerongen' so that I, a poor chauvinistic belgian simpleton, can finally see the light
ps: I must say that your Dekker excuses are much much better than the Boom ones

Que Valor coming on and telling us he'll win the worlds.
I didn't want to say anything like that. But if you say so...
Stybar said he won because he was not favourite, but how can 5th from UCI ranking be outsider? That's Stybar's logic. |
