Good thread. I feel we got off to a rocky start but it's all settled down nicely.

Wearing a skin suit as world champion should be a bannable offense.

Sounds good, or better then 7 hours in the freezing rain.

I’m gonna have cold and rain tomorrow, from the start. Riders should be lucky.

Yep 160km. Starting around 8h30.

Begin of the week: Saturday dry.
Everyday that passed: more rain on Saturday.

 

[Samamba]

Yeah looks like today and Satuday will get almost all of the rain, some snow Saturday night in the south east of the country but it should be getting dryer during the day on Sunday. Still some chance at rain, but looks like we won't see Fleche Wallone stuff

 

[Rob5091]

Be interesting to see who suffers most; guys who did FW or guys coming from Mediterranean climes.

ouch. I had more luck in my AGR sportive last week. 25 degrees and sun

Wearing a skin suit outside timetrials or track should be a bannable offense.

Fixed

Question:
If MVDP wins, how shall it be determined who picked the correct MVDP in the poll?

The first one will be the correct one!

 

[RedheadDane]

The first one will be the correct one!

Maybe that's what the poll is actually about... not who'll win, but which position MVDP will finish in.

Did one in The Peak District with very similar terrain and conditions. Hated every second. Bon chance.

Though it's a shame about the weather improving for the race. A war of attrition against the elements would have been interesting to watch.

As great as Vdp is i find Liege not to suits him at all vs many others so not proclaiming he will win or anything but a peak Vdp could maby suprise a few still with a respectful result.

I wonder if Vdp saved some of his legs which someone said or hes genuinly just is on the way down. Guess we will find out on Sunday it will be no hiding then.

At least you got a reminder watching Flèche to take dressing for elements seriously ( not to imply you don’t take seriously anyways).

 

[postmanhat]

Saved for that moment on Sunday when Pidcock realises again that MVDP's wheel isn't always the best one to follow.

We are all winners, winners at life.

Côte de Desnié is only 8.1%, not 9.4%.

Corrected. I must say the level of proofreading on the forum is exceptional. I'd give it an 8.

 

[RedheadDane]

Don't forget the snacks!

 

[Armchair cyclist]

In the circumstances, surely an 8.1


Though 8.1% wouldn't be a very high score.
