ah yes you're a forrin Jimmy so of course you don't understand the language of the spring classics ;-)
but no, not at all critical of Stannard, he was saying that he should never be underestimated, a very strong rider. of course.
he just made a fool of himself not admitting they should have finished this off, blaming the wind, the proximity of the chasers and whatever else he could think of except their own decisions in the final. Vandenbergh chasing Terpstra. Terpstra taking the front in the last few hundred meters.
then again, this was a no radio race. then again, three to one, with Boonen who is a stronger sprinter than Stannard. I don't think the ds will enjoy a good night's sleep
wheel sucking is allowed by the guy that offers his back wheel. not an issue ever.
Etixx made many mistakes and paid for it dearly. Lefevere made a fool of himself in the interview just now, not even admitting they played it all wrong
