First things first. I’m NOT creating another category just voor GIFs. So, Screencap Recaps may or may not contain GIFs and/or still pictures. It’ll be just like unwrapping a lil’ digital present each time you click a post link. Although, adding to the confusion, this may be called Weekend Ras Ronde, because not designing nieuw fuggin’ logos FTMFW.
Also, there’s no friggin’ way I’m GIFing the entire race, it’s simply too long in comparison to a CX race. Plus, road racing’s mind-numbingly boring for long stretches of time. Go ahead, convince me it’s not.
[Ed Note: when pronouncing GIF, my G is always hard, never soft.]
Alright, LET’S GIF IT ON!!
Omloop Het Nieuwsblaad 2014 – IST: Ian Stannard Time
De road seizoen begint met de Openingsklassieker, Omloop Het Nieuwsblaad. That’s pretty much all I have to say on this. The rest is below.
Gun go bang. Men go “EEEEEK!!”
Peeps be hatin’ on the POC helmet/glasses steez, but this reminds me of Briko back in the day. Y’all need to loosen your sphincters.
SUCH SPRINT. VERY WATTS. MUCH RACE (STILL TO GO).
Oooh, pardonnez-moi!
Ohhh, excusez-moi!
I have no fuggin’ clue. Bike version of sweep the leg?
Meanwhile, in Russia…
Vanmarcke makes it de Vanmarckenberg.
Sep be stringin’ them out! #VANMARCKENBERG
Foreshadowing. Hi Ian, hi.
A gleaming white kop at de kop van de wedstrijd.
Achtervolgers nee more. De kop has swollen in size.
You touch me, bro?!
Such clear. Very sight.
GVA’s leaning into this attack so haard he lookin’ all 3D.
Oooh, mon mauvais.
GEL PACKS—HOW DO THEY WORK?!
Crushing Phinney crushes.
Yoann Offredo explains his 2013 Paris-Roubaix crash in international hand gestures.
Boom’s break through the heart of such Belgian.
Boom’s race goes boom. OHN has no love voor Boom.
Eddie Boss trying to rope-a-dope Niki Terpstra. Even though this break didn’t laatste, EBH’s looking real goed.
FINALLY. With 16.5 km left, the winning break is formed. See what a lack of a focused doping program does voor racing? Besides the one BMC and SKY are on, that is.
Tres breaks. Ian Stannard time and GVA lead a break of tres and a whole mess of achtervolgers in the distance.
Puur klasse 😀
