Woah, that is awesome.

I don't know the story, what is up with the background rider flipping nys off? He is on the same time, isn't he?

Groenendaal (sp?) is the rider in second. He was winning, but nijs (or nys), his rabbo teammate, passed him to take the win. Groenendaal has had a "falling out" with rabbo and will be leaving the team next year (according to cyclingnews) not even working as a coach. I imagine he is looking for a new contract and still has some years left in him, and he was set up for the win, but nijs passing him at the line, when nijs has like....40 wins this season already....they had 7 seconds to the 3rd place finisher (race from yesterday) so it wasn't like they wouldnt get the win, and 3rd place was another rabbo rider. So nijs takes a win from his teammate at the line, when his teammate sort of needs it and he doesn't, and his teammate gives him the bird....I feel like if I were in groenendaal's spot, I may do the same thing, especially in the heat of the moment
