Obviously JA as that’s the only one with 2 letters.

Some UK bookies have Asgreen as second favourite at 4/1 with Pog at 9/2. I don't like those odds so playing around with some outsiders each way: Turgis (40), Senechal (66) and Madouas (100). They're paying out for 4th place which is quite generous.

Don’t know who you are betting with but with top 3 places for each way bets one site is offering 300 to Madouas which is crazily generous given his recent form.

That was Skybet. Oddschecker are claiming 300/1 on bet365 but I have the Bet365 app and they have him at 100/1 for 3 places. I still think 100/1 for four places is worth a punt.

I cant tell if I love or hate RHD's humor or not...

I can't believe you haven't decided yet. RHD's humor here hasn't changed in over a decade of posting.

How do you get emojies to show up that aren't in the limited list the forum provides? I see others doing it all the time. For example, I can't even add a heart emoji. Every time I try to post a message with one I get :

"Oops! We ran into some problems.
A server error occurred. Please try again later."

They show up in the preview but I get the above message when I try to submit the post . Mac+Chrome, fwiw. Looks like same on iPhone.

That’s an easy bet because Madouas could easily get into one of those moves like G-W with some outsider favorites in a group.

I saw MVdP posted a chilly emoji with his recon ride on Strava today. We all know what happens when he gets cold….

To think that 10 years have passed since I went and saw RVV (and a few more races) in 2012. Boonen won that year, and doubled up a week later at Roubaix as well. The weather was still "Belgian Spring" though it didn't rain, else the fields we walked across beside the Oude Kwaremont to get to the Beer tents between passes (it went past 3 times, and a couple for the women as well) would have been a muddy bog. The atmosphere was great though, frozen we may have been, but its worth going to see it 'in the flesh' at least once.

Poel, Pog, Piddles or Pedersen?

Poel, Pog, Piddles or Pedersen?

Or Politt?

Cancellara keeps treating Pogacar as an outsider:

We will see if he's right and Pog really is some distance behind the best cobble-eaters.

 

[sir fly]

Or Politt?

X?

I don't think it's possible. And haven't seen others do it.

Piddles is one P too many.............

P don't lie.

Everyone's gotta P sometimes

Wow, Søren Kragh will go after all. DSM contradicting a set decision. Mind. Blown.

Won't start...

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Søren Kragh Andersen won't start after all. What a mess.

 

[RedheadDane]

Søren Kragh Andersen won't start after all. What a mess.

Seems he's sick...

 

[RedheadDane]

Brunel DNF!
They haven't even started racing yet.
