Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 2013

Route：Ghent 198.9km

1 Luca Paolini (Ita) Katusha
2 Stijn Vandenbergh (Bel) Omega Pharma-Quick-Step Cycling Team
3 Sven Vandousselaere (Bel) Topsport Vlaanderen-Baloise

接近攝氏零度的冷冽逆風，有沒有這夭壽啊！


Matteo Trentin 摔斷鎖骨...還順便撇掉了湯馬仕小火車


Geraint Thomas 展現企圖心，追到第四名，本季石板路大戰不容小覷



蝦帥攻！


獨奏，直到最後一個坡才被抓回來，敢鬥賞！



Greg Van Avermaet (BMC)後方一點點也依樣畫葫蘆，我期待他今年春天有所斬獲



與蝦帥合體之後，共10 員：Chavanel, Van Avermaet, Thomas, Paolini, Roelandts, Vandenbergh, Vandousselaere, Garcia, Wynants, Bandiera

在Paddestraat ＆ Lippenhovestraat 的石板路上，Vandenbergh 火力全開，只有Paolini 跟上

比賽定調


Paolini 身高174cm，Vandenbergh 身高199cm...這根本是大衛與歌利亞的對決

逃往終點的過程中大多由Vandenbergh 帶頭(大排氣量引擎就是有優勢)

Paolini 其實也知道如果一直躲在後面，贏了也不光彩，也是奮力出頭


兩人就這麼相濡以沫，直到最後100m 才啟動衝刺

Paolini 略勝一籌



石板A 咖們騎得保守，大集團進終點


賽後Paolini 表示：To be honest, I was afraid he would attack because I was tired, but then I could see that he was really very tired, too. I rode with Stijn at Katusha in 2010, and I knew that I was quicker than him on paper, but it was still a relief to cross the line first.


Q半仙感嘆：沒想到還能看見像準名人堂經典Paolo Bettini 那種醜的要命的義大利姿勢率先過終點
