106th Ronde van Vlaanderen: April 3rd, 2022

[SafeBet]

This was just insane.

 

[ppanther92]

Disappointing by MvdP though

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Everyone should be riding directly against Pogacar after he's shown so clearly to be the strongest rider in the race and he's isolated.

 

[Scarponi]

Van Avermaet is so bad these days

 

[glassmoon]

Pog, MvP, Pidders together... but it seems Pog can drop them rather easily on any berg.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

wtf

 

[Eclipse]

The smart thing from Pog is he put the power down almost immediately. Turned it into a more sustained hard effort rather than a power dump and should benefit his recovery.

 

[Tigerion]

Scattered into small groups, some of them will come back together

 

[Ilmaestro99]

He rides on a different speed to the rest

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Anyone who takes a single pull in a group with VDP and Pog from here on in should be shot and sold for glue

 

[Netserk]

Benoot really poor on Kwaremont, but it's also the worst hill for him.

 

[Peyroteo94]

MVP is doing a smart race. Let's wait to see if his legs are good enough to win

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Too bad Benoot didn't make it or he'd gladly take you up on the offer.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

And now former G2 will be kicking themselves for letting Pogacar within range to close them down with one move.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Pointless show of power?

 

[Volderke]

Pog now badly placed. But heck, it's still 52K and the Koppenberg has to come etc.
It will be a race of attrition!

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

HD footage of Pocagars attack for those that missed it:

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

G2 before absolutely did a horrible job of keeping the gap.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

AG2R are almost nonexistent this cobbles season outside of Omloop.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Folks, save all your data before the internet explodes

Surely some third party will do it for us.

Le Gac is in impressive form at the moment.

 

[Salvarani]

Entertaining race

 

[Big Doopie]

Pog, as I expected, the strongest. Not sure to win tho.

No idea y anyone works with him.

 

[Tigerion]

Pointless show of power?

Depends if he attacks again now and has others on the limit

 

[Netserk]

Pidcock!

 

[ppanther92]

But Pogacar is really the greatest cyclist since, who knows. Surely since I watch (Armstrong days).
