106th Ronde van Vlaanderen: April 3rd, 2022

[Tobi]

Best day of the year for me i love this race

 

[Netserk]

Boo, Jumbo is controlling with Roosen, not trying to join the attackers.

 

[Samamba]

Dewulf and Taco in the break is pretty dangerous

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Kirby and McEwen on Eurosport duty. I’m happy with that though it’s a bit early to think of blood and custard (apparently those are the Uno-X colours).

 

[Netserk]

Good group of 9 riders, DSM and EF missed it, the former now chasing.

 

[RedheadDane]

Paasschens forgetting that this is not the Easter Race this year.

 

[Lequack]

The motor has paced the break away.

 

[Lequack]

Also hasn't the road blocking been been frowned upon? Why are they still doing it?

 

[Netserk]

25 - Grignard (Lotto)
37 - Van der Hoorn (Intermarché)
44 - Dewulf (Ag2r)
133 - Boaro (Astana)
162 - Bohli (Cofidis)
186 - Kanter (Movistar)
206 - Mozzato (B&B)
212 - Paasschens (Bingoal)
224 - De Vylder (Sport Vlaanderen)

 

[Netserk]

DSM, Uno-X, EF and BikeExchange have been active behind (DSM doing most of the chasing), Jumbo has been policing, Quick-Step too.

Pogacar with his first crash of his life?

(I know it isn't)

 

[Netserk]

Also hasn't the road blocking been been frowned upon? Why are they still doing it?

Because this is a bike race. If you want space, you don't ask for it, you take it.

 

[Faserr]

That is a good group.

 

[RedheadDane]

I... have a question:

---

El Tractor is back in business!

 

[Netserk]

Declercq has taken over the front, at the moment taking it easy and letting the gap grow.

 

[glassmoon]

Pogacar with his first crash of his life?

(I know it isn't)

seems his right leg is hurting...

 

[RunningRouleur]

Really hope he isn't hurt. He shouldn't have been that far back.

 

[Netserk]

They reach Zottegem with 173 km to go, in 63 km.

Kwaremont starts with 139 km to go, in 97 km.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Really hope he isn't hurt. He shouldn't have been that far back.

Riding into the back of Stefan Kung could hurt though.

Probably better than Kung Fu Fighting.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Probably better than Kung Fu Fighting.

That’d be a little bit frightening

 

[Lequack]

Probably better than Kung Fu Fighting.

Kirby said the fans made his skin tone a bit too red, "like he was in a microwave for too long".

I really don't think he is hurt...

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Kirby said the fans made his skin tone a bit too red, "like he was in a microwave for too long".

Kirby has been value since far. Trying to translate Jacky Durand’s predictions but mainly giggling all the time at the sight of McEwen’s moustache.
