To be riding bikes outdoors in February. Jealous. Nice report. I've seen some race vlogs of this event from previous years on Youtube and they always look like fun.

Both Woods and Vine provided ROI that the teams that first signed them would have been thrilled about.

Earlier this month or last there was speculation that MVDP might ride Omloop. Has anyone heard anything further on this?

So were Dillier and Rickaert just prepping for riding on the front at Roubaix until Arenberg?

First race in 8 months, not really a guy for the steep climbs to begin with, more of a diesel. I expected less from him.

Slightly better than what I expected from him. Still some way to go.

First race in 8 months and one he wasn't originally scheduled to ride. I wouldn't expect too much.

How was this waif the first rider onto Arenberg that one time?

Here he just says he was on a bit of a lighter profile than everyone else. No specific treads mentioned: https://www.cyclingnews.com/pro-cycling/teams-riders/thibau-nys-gets-stuck-on-wrong-tyres-after-late-rainfall-and-salvages-bronze-for-belgium-at-cyclo-cross-world-championships/ He is quoted...

Those are two different riders given different roles when it comes to supporting MVDP (and sometimes Philipsen) and their individual opportunities. Vermeersch is one for the cobbled classics. Hermans more frequently raced MSR, Strade Bianche, LBL and some other Ardennes races. Sometimes they...

It's kind of crazy that Jonas is contractually banned from putting in a few tiles in his kitchen, but Mathieu can hit the slopes less than two months before the biggest goals of his season.

Ultimately the type of rider del Grosso and his team want him to become on the road will determine any sort of fitness program he undertakes.

He will have to be allowed to skip the Tour if he wants to take mountain biking seriously.

I don't think online sources for this are to be entirely trusted, but I found Nys at 64kg, del Grosso at 70kg, and van der Poel at 75kg. Del Grosso is the same height as van Aert, but significantly lighter and visibly the skinniest rider (legs and torso) on the podium today. Agreed about seated...

Certainly doesn't sound like MVDP has closed the door on cyclocross quite yet: View: https://x.com/cyclocross24/status/2017998607975076243
