110th Scheldeprijs Schoten: 6 April, 2022

[Samu Cuenca]

Both Wiebes and Kool repeated their results from the inaugural edition.

 

[StryderHells]

They're both fast. I would say Van Uden is faster, but Welsford is technically the pro (Van Uden is still a development rider) so yeah maybe.

It’s a flip of the coin for DSM, they’re both quick.

 

[Samamba]

This is over. We missed the best part and now its waiting for a sprint with that group.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

When Politt only has his mouth half open you know G2 aren't coming back.

 

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

Wow, QS… Whole team DROPPED in Scheldeprijs…

What a spring for them.

If Remco fails now in Spain, Patrick will be super mad…

 

[AlfaLum]

When Politt only has his mouth half open you know G2 aren't coming back.

Yeah, with Jakobsen and Morkov not even pulling themselves G2 doesn’t stand a chance against so many good riders. BikeExchange even worse here though..

Lotto is also only having one rider pull and B&B are doing nothing in spite of their leader in Mozzato being there. It's a collective lack of faith and workrate, not just Quickstep.

Both Van Moer and Vermeersch have been pulling since the live started. But that's 5 riders vs. 10ish in the first group. No way thet close down a minute without the front group doing some weird stuff.

Sam Bennett dorsn‘t have to work, which is a clear advantage over Philipsen and Merlier in the final sprint…

 

[yaco]

Wiebes absolutely dominated the sprint in the women‘s race

More importantly Bike Exchange allowed Baker to sprint the final - She's the fastest in their team.

Bennett is working

 

[yaco]

Assuming that the front group stays away the Bora need to be smart in the 15kms - They have three riders who need to attack and get away from the group - Failing that then Bennett can wait for the final sprint.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Bennett has to work to get the other sprinters to work also. If he stops, then Merlier, Kristoff etc have every reason to also stop.

 

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

Kristoff is a pleasure to watch… 78 kilograms of finest Norwegian bull

 

[Bolder]

Coming down quickly

 

[ruamruam]

The chasers are much more committed

 

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

One of the best editions of Scheldeprijs!…

Imagine it‘s Fleche Wallonne and you see Rog and Ala working in the breakaway from KM 20 on…

Very nice!

 

[StryderHells]

More importantly Bike Exchange allowed Baker to sprint the final - She's the fastest in their team.

I’m not sure it is more important but yes Baker was impressive.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

The two groups will merge soon.
Anyone knows where the peloton is?

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Group 2 lost ten seconds again.

 

[Mayomaniac]

I guess both Merlier and Philipsen will sprint for themself. If the groups merge one will be on Bennett's wheel, the other one on Jakobsen's.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Group 2 suddenly looks finished, but things can change extremely fast in these situations.

 

[search]

I guess both Merlier and Philipsen will sprint for themself. If the groups merge one will be on Bennett's wheel, the other one on Jakobsen's.

yeah, Alpecin said they'd go for Philipsen today, as he is better in a technical, kinda chaotic sprint. Now with the small group, I think Merlier has every reason to believe that this doesn't apply anymore

 

[Stringer Bell]

This ain’t coming back

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

What happened with Wærenskjold??
