Re:

Once again.

It took some huge mountain of stupid to miss the move with Jungels. People go at that spot every year.

Never underestimate the collective stupidity of the group of pro cyclists

If Jungles wins this, which I think he will.. QS have won E3, Dwars, Ronde, Fleche AND Liege. That's pretty impressive.

This.
I think it was Uran who was on his wheel but simply let him go.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Martin just has zero luck this year. Puncture there means race over.

 

[Gigs_98]

I knew Martin would drop before the final climb

 

[TourOfSardinia]

oh dear Dan Martin

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

Please, Jungels, do it!!!

 

[Põhja Konn]

Well this is a familiar scenario. One of the strongest riders get away and all the others are looking at each other. No cooperation and no-one willing to go all-in chasing for fear of burning all his matches before its too late. Been the story of this years classics season really.

Pretty sure it was Woods.

One man vs a man drafting a car. Nice.

That’s actually true. All of them decided on the exact same way

With four different riders, which makes it even better team-wise.

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

Excellent!

 

[Escarabajo]

Why did Astana wait that long?

Woods. Uran nowhere to be found.

Valverde 2nd

Re: Re:

Matthews dropped, thank god that hype come to an end.

Exactly. I have no idea what people hyping him were thinking. I actually like Matthews ok, but he's never going to win here.

I mean, he came 4th here last year so it's not out of the question by any means

I always saw that as an outlier performance. Even then, it's not like he's going to beat Bala, Martin, Ala, and Martin and all the other top guys on that finish. Maybe one or two on a good day when it's raced easy but not all of them.

 

[Red Rick]

Anyone got a location on Maxim Iglinsky?

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Jungels was clever, but he is super strong. Just like with Terpstra at the Ronde, the term "Quickstep tactics" mask how strong these guys really are

 

[Akuryo]

Almost a minute ... its over!

 

[DNP-Old]

Julian is too good.

 

[Red Rick]

Not only are the climbers in LBL shitty rouleurs

They're also dumb enough to let the good rouleurs ride off
