HTC-Columbia’s Eisel wins the race he dislikes: Gent Wevelgem.
"I never liked this race," said HTC-Columbia's Bernard Eisel. He might like it now. Eisel blew past a fading George Hincapie (BMC) in the last 200 meters to win the 2o10 Gent Wevelgem. Sep Vanmarcke of the little-guy Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator team earned himself a massive bonus in taking second. Philippe Gilbert (Omega Pharma-Lotto) snuck in for third best but was seen kicking himself and his teammate Jurgen Roelandts (Omega Pharma-Lotto) for their questionable tactics. They had the advantage in the winning six riders group.
Freire beats Boonen in Milan San Remo. Cavendish bites it on Cipressa.
Oscar the Cat wins Milan San Remo for the third time. Race pundits thought Mark Cavendish was bluffing about his form. Turns out it was Freire who had everyone fooled. Supposedly recovering from a cold and still feeling a bit under the weather, Oscar made a remarkably fast recovery. Must be those super power cough drops.
Bbox Boy delivers in Paris-Nice, stage two. B-b-bravo.
Bonnet is getting the French double cheek kiss routine from everyone in Bbox land. He didn't just win a stage, he probably saved the squad from folding or a fate worse than death -- doing amateur races in the US with Rock Racing.
Garmin’s Hunter leaves Murcia for pregnant wives — plural.
In point of fact, the South African is a practicing bigamist and has two pregnant wives, both pictured here. Good luck to all three of you and congratulations, Mr. Hunter. Two stage wins in Murcia, one for each wife.
Spanish-Belgian rider Flecha wins Omloop Het Nieuwsblad.
Flecha's nickname is the Spanish Flandrian and we're beginning to wonder how that happened? Was he born with some kind of recessive cobblestone-chromosome? We may even be dealing with a abduction scenario. Spanish couple desperate for child swipes Belgian baby from Antwerp hospital.
