    I see 14, which isn't a lot, but sure it's something and it seems to turn. Which means we will see slower T1s and really fast second parts from later starters.

    I can live with 2022, but I think this isn'f ar off and its definitely stronger than the past few years. Its just that the sprintersfield is bad cause of injuries and Philipsens decision to not ride Algarve.

    Bit of a weird comment imo. It's just Philipsen not being here, and Merlier but he's injured, same with Kooij. They would all be here. Philipsen changed his schedule for some reason. I mean obviously this race is not gonna attract a lot of puncher/classic type of riders who would be good on a...

    This has nothing to do with performing on a 45min climb.

    It will be maybe about 10s, but it's worth it. Win is a win And there isn't a lot of wind expected.

    It can always be the difference between 5th and 6th, or 7th and 8th. For these guys that matters. It probably won't, but you never know and when you can just take them, why now. Ofc they are not in contention to win the whole thing. Van Eetvelt hasn't been able to show anythinig for almost a...

    You have 25km of headwind coming up, Dillier does not stand a single chance if they don't race to every roundabout like their life depends on it.

    It's definitely sketchy out there with the sand. I'm assuming it's way worse on the track they are are skipping as it's a way smaller road with higher dunes.

    I always find it so weird that peloton doesn't just talk to eachother and says let's slow down, let's be safe, there's no reason to go fast, it won't split due to the wind anyways
