Organized on Friday for the first tome, something that almost blindsided me as well! E3 is always one of my favorite races of the spring season.

Boonen just put in a serious dig on the Taaienberg, getting Cancellara, Vanmarcke and Hoste with him. Everything came back together, but we're going to the Paterberg and Oude Kwaremont now. :helmet:

Abandon Gilbert...he's been struggling all race.

This does not bode well for my wielerprono team!

Cancellara attacks on the cobbles, gets a group with Boonen, Pozzato, Sagan, Vanmarcke Boom and Hoste...and 5 seconds later he flats on his front tire. :(

Crazy! A Rabo rider comes out of the bend and crashes into Cancellara as he's changing his bike!

Lone leader Gatto suffering a mechanical in the last 25 km as well. Very sad. :( Chavanel and Muravyev speed past him, a group with Boonen, Pozzato, Sagan chasing.

5th E3 win for Boonen! He's the sole record holder now.

QST sent Chavanel out with Muravyev, who stayed away until 7 kms from the end when a large group started chasing. Boonen won the sprint of the 30-40 guys relatively easily, only Freire came close. Well done Tom, you look as strong as ever! :icon_up: Fast guys Degenkolb, Sagan and Boasson Hagen were in the main group but were killed along the way clearly. And what to say about Freire? Class.

1) Boonen
2) Feire
3) Eisel
4) Duque
5) Vanmarcke
6) Degenkolb
7) Pichot
8) Ballan
9) Turgot
10) breschel

Canc 1-1 Boonen currently, just counting classics wins.
The momentum seems to be on Boonen's side ATM though.

It looked to me that the young sprinting guns did not know the problematic course in the last km and were stuck behind.

Cancellara put in a few tweets about the race but I had a (guilty) laugh at this one:
