105th Ronde van Vlaanderen: April 4th, 2021

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Asgreen is a dumbass. What a shame.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Asgreen is the type of rider, who gets tired if he doesn't work.

 

[jaylew]

He’s still *** pulling

Of course he is. He'll wait to stop taking pulls until later

 

[Spine Concept]

Why? This isn’t a TT

Listen, if MVDP is the strongest out of the two then why would I be against him winning? Or thinking it's a shame if Wout loses from him? Get real.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Asgreen going to do this like Terpstra with Kristoff by the looks...

I think the sprinting abilities are more equal this time. Asgreen has a decent sprint, and MVDP does not have Kristoff's top speed from when he was best. I'd say a long sprint from Asgreen is the only way to beat MVDP, but there needs to be tailwind for that strategy to work.

I dont care how who you want to win. You asked why the strongest shouldn’t be seen as deserving to win, I answered that it’s not an ITT. Cheer for whoever you like.

 

[titan31]

Why is WVA attacking that group. He should be getting them to work together to bring it back. All bar Senechal and Vermeersch will work there

 

[Fuente De]

Of course Agreen has to work at the moment, the lead isn't that big. Otherwise VDP would just launch the rocket again and leave him in no man's land.

 

[Brullnux]

Asgreen is so strong.

 

[titan31]

To me Asgreen shouldn't work and if he does work less. Hopefully he can attack at a traffic island then

I never said who I wanted to win, you'd know that if you weren't in your feelings about MVDP. The guy hasn't even won yet, there's a chance the group will catch him and Asgreen and that Wout could still win if they catch them. But that's beside the point I was making. Reading comprehension goes a long way when you're in your feelings. smh.

No way VDP could escape from Asgreen.

Danish donkeymight.

 

[Brullnux]

It’s only a twenty second gap, if Asgreen doesn’t ride then I’m not sure his chances of winning increase by much.

He was an idiot to ride with van der Poel against van Aert. He would much better have stayed in van der Poel's wheel, who would definitely keep riding to keep van Aert at bay, while van Aert would have had to ride to bridge. Now van Aert is wasting less energy (in case he ever gets back) and van der Poel is wasting less energy (because Asgreen is helping) and he himself (Asgreen) is wasting energy.

He could have attacked van der Poel with 10k to go and he would have had a much bigger chance to win.

 

[rghysens]

Ok, Vdp has this 7in the bag.

Ok, Vdp has this 7in the bag.

Still a long way to go...

 

[pink_jersey]

I think they will get caught.
The 2nd group is working really good and at 5Km I calculated 18s...

Edit: 25s at 4km

 

[jaylew]

He doesn't increase his chances at all if that group comes back. Only Senechal is there.

 

[Spine Concept]

I have a feeling they will get caught. So if Wout takes it a bit easy then he still has a chance. So does GVA.

 

[red_flanders]

They’re not getting caught Unless Asgreen stops cooperating.

 

[titan31]

I can't see Asgreen winning this. Would love it but looks unlikely, especially if he keeps working like this.

 

[jaylew]

Denmark v Netherlands

 

[DaveJones2]

Shows how strong these two are as they put time into a working chase group.

 

[DaveJones2]

Didn't realise they'd sat up!
