106th Ronde van Vlaanderen: April 3rd, 2022

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

The group should force Pogi to pull the most.

 

[Peyroteo94]

What a race. Love Flanders!! Pogacar is one of a kind. Seriously how can Roglic beat this dude in the tour?

 

[Red Rick]

Van der Poel doing way too much work as per frigging usual

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

To be fair, he (and the team) would be extremely happy finishing 3rd

Then he should develop some self respect and some ambition. This may well be the only real chance he ever gets to win a ronde

 

[Tim Cahill]

Madouas is either incredibly strong or incredibly stupid

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Madouas is either incredibly strong or incredibly stupid

Why not both?

 

[spalco]

He is racing the way he must in order to win. Either they break or he breaks.

I'm just baffled he's in any way in a position to do this. Maybe I'm the idiot for still doubting Pogacar is the second coming of Jesus.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Finally Boonenberg, my favorite climb

 

[postmanhat]

Lol. The G3 group have lost about 20 seconds to Van Baarle and Wright in five minutes

Like the last 2 years - he can't.

Or maybe tiny hope that Pogacar is currently dancing at too many weddings. But that said he never tires out anyway, it seems.

 

[JosefK]

Group 3 doomed, yes?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Van der Poel knows what's up.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Easy for us fat guys sitting in front of the TV saying riders are losers for not playing “win or nothing”

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Madouas to almost get gaped should probably be a good reminder for himself not to assist MVDP and Pogacar too much.

 

[Peyroteo94]

MVP will kill Pogacar on paterberg

 

[ppanther92]

Haha, road goes up -> Pogacar launches

 

[JosefK]

Pogi ridiculous.

 

[limak_]

Looks like it's gonna be the 3rd year in a row when MvdP contests a two man sprint in De Ronde's final.

 

[glassmoon]

Group 3 doomed, yes?

yep

 

[Salvarani]

Just enjoying the race. Happy with whoever wins. Incredible riders.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

If Madouas, Wright and Van Baarle work in this group I give up...

Pidcock really never races for his team, only himself.

 

[Salvarani]

Biggest disappointment is QS

 

[RunningRouleur]

What a dream scenario for De Ronde

 

[Scarponi]

Would Woet match this ?

Equally easy for us fat guys sitting in front of the tv to applaud rank idiocy and riding to lose too. It’s not even as if it diminishes his chances of a best loser spot to ride to win in this situation, VDP and Pog aren’t going to get caught from behind and Madouas increases his chances of following them by staying out of the wind.
