106th Ronde van Vlaanderen: April 3rd, 2022

[AlfaLum]

Going down a bit too quickly now. Would be best for Jumbo/Quickstep/Bora and definitely Trek to have at least 40 seconds before the kwaremont.

In that case Jumbo/Quickstep have the numbers. So they should really work.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

I can't see G2 staying together after Kwaremont, Paterberg and Koppenberg. This is far from over for G3.

They won't stay together but they also won't split into 20 single riders. The issue with such a big group isn't that they will flawless stay and work together until the end but that it is has enough depth to create a winning 5-men group after Koppenberg/Paterberg. And MVP or Pogacar won't be able to chase down a 5 men group that works together and has a head start.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Ffs dont look at each other G2, bury them, this is your chance

 

[OJRvE]

People here claim Lampaert is in G2 but he is not listed on TV?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Place your bets on the best finisher of those up ahead, before the Kwaremont begins.

My bet: Van Hooydonck
Dark horse: Haller

Haller is a good classics sprinter and good after a hard race, good call.

 

[Volderke]

Steimle and Stybar.

Pedersen?

Although I would love Haller.

Anyway, I dont think thats over and even if the winner comes from G1, they will split. So its not necessarily the fastest sprinter.

 

[Netserk]

Mid-race transfer?

My brain was off. It was Philipsen, I think.

 

[RunningRouleur]

It's all going to come back together

 

[Devil's Elbow]

But the distribution of work is hardly a trivial matter.

Undoubtedly some people won't be pulling but I would worry about the freaks in the peloton first and then see what the situation is like after the Paterberg. This is the worst section to stop cooperating.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Why is Kanter still pulling?
Surely it would be better for him to relax until García Cortina joins him, though it seems it might not even happen now.

 

[Volderke]

Front group have to push hard to survive Kwaremont.

 

[ppanther92]

Has the peleton waited fro some domestiques to bring the gap down now, or is the GPS unreliable?

 

[glassmoon]

22s... yep, they'll catch G2

 

[Mayomaniac]

Affini drilling it behind because?

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

G2 just not working together enough when the gap was high.

The former

 

[Netserk]

I'm quite sure it's Steimle and Stybar.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Massive Pogacar attack incoming if Trentin is leading him in.

 

[Salvarani]

They gonna come back on the Kwaremont

 

[ppanther92]

People here claim Lampaert is in G2 but he is not listed on TV?

Because he is not - two QS, which are Steimle and Stybar.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Sorry that was my fault. He isn't there

 

[Eclipse]

See, peloton had this well in hand and we're primed for some great racing.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Yeah, Peleton has reacted correctly and G2 has messed this up. Breath of relief for Alpecin and UAE.

 

[Salvarani]

Kanter very good today
