I'm not crying, you are.

between the 2 of them: - 6 RVV - 7 E3 - 5 WC - 1 green jersey :p

Wet cobbles mean not all favourites gonna survive until the final. Let's hope they do and let's hope Poggy and MVP are having a human day so it'll actually be a close race with a handfull of contenders.

Quoting Wielerfilts might not be more reliable than an April fools joke :p

april fools?

No trainings logged since MSR on Strava. Normally he logs his trainings. Would be typical Wout if he got sick a week and a half before RVV.

He should just focus on the wheel of Ganna. Poggy and MVP are way better climbers/punchers but if Ganna and Van Aert work together they might get an outside chance to win or at least battle for podium.

I mean, I understand, it's annoying as hell. If some guy is glued at my wheel during a random bike ride I'm also annoyed. Him begin a professional rider it must have all the time. Next time maybe wait for a climb to drop the amateur instead of a descend.

It depends of Mads Pedersen or WVA are in the mix. If Ganna can follow then a 100% fit WVA and Pedersen should be able to follow to and then it's just a lottery.

The only way Poggy doesn't win is if they screw up massively and somehow Jorgenson gets a huge bonus in the break (Kuss Vuelta vibes). Visma bees can scheme all they want, if Poggy drops everyone every time the road goes even slightly uphill, you can't beat him.

Not the Wout Van Aert to win stages for the moment. Thanks to his incredible recovery he'll be able to be usefull in 3rd week though.

Wout van Aert?

It's clear he wasn't at the level of big 3, big 4, big 5 whatever like he used to be in period 2019-2023. It's possible his injury in Spain last year is to blame. The alternative is that he's physically over his top. In that regard next year will be an important one for him. We'll know more...

It's his first Fleche, so I don't think he has done it in an actual race. But I haven't seen such a killer since MVP. He hardly never makes the wrong choices.

Bold statement here, but to me he's the absolute favorite for the Fleche. - The race is only 205k - Traditionally punchers can conserve energy in the bunch untill the final ascend of the Mur - when in a good position, Nys hasn't lost an uphill sprint last 12 months. If he starts the Mur in the...
