A really nice race - it's always amazing how even a nearly quarter-hour lead isn't enough to bring home a victory in this race. It's also always amazing how the commentators every time say that the main field starts too late - by now they should know.
The Quickstep action was great - taking the victory and the podium positions away from the Fassa Bortolo guys after their sprint build-up is really super. Even if I would of course have preferred to see Zabel up front.
