Not a fan of Jorgenson myself. Not enough agressive riding for someone who tends to talk big. I am more than okay with a rider talking big, if you also have the courage to just go. It's fine if you crash and burn. Meanwhile Jorgenson tends to get his result by sneaky attacks or wheelsucking.

Amstel is a big race, if only cause it's easily the biggest race in the netherlands. More than Strade it has history as well. The reason Strade became so big so quickly was the terrain and the final climb combo were a very nice addition to cycling. They unfortunately decided to make the race...

Honestly this isn't last season, and just as important, aside from Seixas the peloton is relative light this year. Could be one of the few years where Remco has an actual chance at Fleche. I dunno. Fleche is hard for Remco. On one hand I would not wait till the foot of the climb if i'm Remco...

A surprising result, but also a nice podium. Hermans and Cosnefroy

They should just ride this the wednesday after Roubaix, not on friday

Depends on who shows up. If someone like laporte and a guy from Lotto was added to the breakaway today . i don't think there's enough peloton to come back for the sprint.

apparantly got third overall in denmark rundt last year, relative young still

Every year is different, even some bigger races have some surprising 'weak' fields every now and then.

peloton riding stop & go, whilst front group is riding well. they could make it

or maybe not will all these twists and turns, advantage breakaway in those corners

hmm, been going through an old atlas, so haven't been paying attention. i see a small gap and 3 ahead. peloton capable of coming back, or strongest 3 ahead and peloton beaten? Don't know this Debruyne, but apparantly came 4th in U23 race of LBL couple of years ago

No hour record for Evenepoel btw. I know some people were hoping for an attempt. But it's not looking likely for years to come if not ever.

Just looked at a map. Never realised the Netherlands came so far south. I assumed that would all be germany on the right of belgium once past a certain point.

huh, I'm guessing you mean the foothills of flemish ardennes, not the actual ardennes.

Yes it's a nice race. No idea why so few bigger names want to win it this year. Not sure who to root for yet. Berckmoes maybe
