Juan Antonio Flecha wins Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Hot damn. Sky just bagging one right out the box. Read about the race at cyclingnews.com as well. Love this pic too: Gritty.
I picked Flecha as a dark horse, Snake tapped Heinrich Haussler for the win. He was damn close, that Haussler, 2nd by :35 seconds (Edit: I have also seen it listed as :18 seconds). Snake was right, the man is on form.
Flecha. The first Spaniard to take Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Good on ya.
Flecha pointed to the sky before firing off his signature bow-and-arrow victory salute. He later explained that he dedicated his win to the memory of the late Frank Vandenbroucke, the 1999 winner of Het Volk.

If I could get and hold that look on my face, perhaps cars would leave me the fuck alone, and leave a wide berth. Dude looks mean. MEAN!

Flecha, one of my most favorite bike racers out there today. He is a hard man, and does it right.

His face tells a story. Wonder if he has any molars left.

did he do his salute across the line?
February 28th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
is it just me, or does his helmet look like it has no vents, just plastic?
February 28th, 2010 at 4:37 pm
I’m guessing the vents are plugged as the day was cold and wet. Not a bad idea really and not rocket engineering.

And I think I’m a badass when I make a beer run in weather like that…
