Fabulous Fabian

How cool is the Tour of Flanders? Not be able to actually watch the spring classics for the past 30 years I feel like I can relate to the reason for all the excitement that surrounds these races. First the shear beauty of the county at each of the venues is incredible. Second the quality of talent is not second to the Tour de france. And lastly this talent is not all the big guns but also the most desirous of the big win or at least a good show on the world stage.
But that was the after thought and not what the 'big guns' had in mind. Tom Bonnen and Fabian Cancellara had another idea and both rose to the occasion.  Fabian cashed his promise check in a hugh way. by powering away from the Belgian road race champion on the last and toughest hill showing his incredible will and force of spirit. The once on the flats he tucked into that world beating TT position of his and slipped into high gear and never looked back. Meanwhile Tom banged away on the pedals with such force as to make the viewers tired just watching but was unable to catch the flying swissman.  The rest you must see, and eve the begging through the middle. Watch the heck just watch the whole thing it is a perfect race for everyone.  It is a thing of beauty, grace and power.
There are many other races in the world but this one was magic.
If I pass you on the road stop at Peets, because your buying.
